Broker-Dealer Compliance Automation
Most compliance tools capture emails and chats. Loffa automates the operational and financial rules your business actually runs on — SEC 17a-13 securities counts, 15c3-3 free credit verification, FINRA 4311 carrying agreements — with audit-ready workflows built for broker-dealer operations.
The Problem
Communications Surveillance Isn't Broker-Dealer Compliance
The RegTech market is crowded with vendors that archive email, monitor chat, and supervise social media. Those tools matter — but they don't touch the operational rules that carry the biggest enforcement risk: quarterly securities counts, reserve computations, prime brokerage agreements, carrying agreement documentation, and counterparty verification.
- ✗ SEC 17a-13 quarterly counts still run on spreadsheets and email
- ✗ 15c3-3 free credit balance letters sent by fax and PDF
- ✗ FINRA 4311 carrying agreements tracked in SharePoint folders
- ✗ SIA-150 / SIA-151 prime brokerage forms emailed as attachments
- ✗ 17a-4 retention patched together across disconnected systems
The Solution
One Platform for Operational & Financial Compliance
Loffa built the other side of broker-dealer compliance: the workflows that regulators examine during every cycle. Each module replaces manual, spreadsheet-driven processes with a purpose-built, regulatory-grade system — SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II audited — so your team spends less time producing evidence and more time running operations.
- ✓ Purpose-built modules for each regulated workflow
- ✓ Time-stamped audit trails tied to specific rule citations
- ✓ 17a-4 compliant retention with instant retrieval
- ✓ Cross-counterparty network effects — your prime and clearing brokers already use it
- ✓ 20+ years of broker-dealer operational heritage
