Pros
- Registered with the NFA and CFTC as an introducing broker since 1982
- Holds an A plus rating from the Better Business Bureau
- Every client gets a named broker instead of only chat support
- Covers futures, options, metals, forex and managed accounts in one firm
- Over 45 years of operating history under Chicago based leadership
Cons
- Standard self directed account needs a 5,000 dollar minimum deposit
- Not registered as a retail forex dealer, so forex orders are introduced out
- Not a futures commission merchant, so it does not clear or hold funds itself
- Third party review sites mention inconsistent customer support response times
Zaner Financial Services LLC has used the Zaner Group name since 1980 from its Chicago office. It joined the National Futures Association in 1982 and is registered with the CFTC as an introducing broker, commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor.
The firm covers futures, options on futures, metals and forex, plus managed accounts for clients who want a professional to trade for them. A standard self directed account needs a 5,000 dollar deposit. Traders can use Zaner360, NinjaTrader, TradingView or CQG, and every account gets a named broker.
Zaner holds an A plus Better Business Bureau rating and an active NFA membership. Its registration does not include a forex dealer member category, so forex orders are introduced to a separate regulated firm rather than handled directly. Zaner does not run deposit bonuses or sign up promotions.
