Pass-through account

A pass-through account receives funds and sends them on quickly with little or no genuine activity in between. At a broker, that means deposits withdrawn soon after with trading far below what the deposit would support.

Why it matters for brokers and payment firms

Pass-through is a core layering typology for brokers and wallets. Rules compare deposits, withdrawals and traded notional per client over a period, and flag changes of destination.
