Broker as a Service Overview
Broker as a Service is Manteca's integration layer for offering capital-markets products on top of regulated infrastructure. Use it to let your users trade stocks, bonds, letras (LECAPs), CEDEARs, and mutual funds (FCIs), and to operate Dólar MEP — through one API, without managing market connectivity, settlement, or compliance pipelines.
Broker handles user onboarding (KYC/AML), instrument pricing, order execution, mutual fund subscriptions and redemptions, holding income (dividends and coupons), fiat movements, and async lifecycle tracking through one integration.
Broker endpoints live under /broker/v1/api/... and use the same base URLs and md-api-key authentication header as the rest of the Manteca platform.
Product scopes
| Scope | Description |
|---|---|
| Stocks & CEDEARs | Equity and CEDEAR market orders. |
| Bonds & letras | Sovereign/corporate bonds and short-term letras (LECAPs), with coupon and amortization schedules. |
| FCIs | Mutual fund subscriptions and redemptions, priced by amount. |
| Dólar MEP | USD acquisition through the MEP synthetic (buy a bond in ARS, sell it in USD). |
End-to-end flow
A typical Broker integration follows this sequence:
- Create the user and complete onboarding (KYC).
- Fund the account (fiat deposit).
- Read instrument prices.
- Preview and create an order (or subscribe to a fund, or operate Dólar MEP).
- Track execution via webhooks or polling.
- Settle balances at end of day.
