To become a member of ICE Futures Singapore, a candidate must complete an application form, undergo a due diligence review and execute an agreement stating he will adhere to all Exchange rules.

All futures trades executed on the ICE platform are monitored by or attributable to responsible individuals who are accountable for the trading activities of both the member and the member's customers. They are also responsible for the conduct of trades executed in the member's name.

Categories

There are two categories of Exchange membership that determine the type of business which members may conduct at ICE Singapore. In addition to Membership categories, a member's status as a clearing member of ICE Clear Singapore will also impact the type of business they may conduct.

General Participants

General Participants* may trade their own** business and clients' business. They may also do give ups. If the General Participant is a clearing member of ICE Clear Singapore as well, they may clear their own business, clients' business or clear for any other member of the exchange who is not a member of the clearing house.

Trade Participants

Trade Participants* may trade their own** business, but may not trade on behalf of clients or do give ups. Likewise, if a Trade Participant is a clearing member of ICE Clear Singapore, he may only clear his own business.

Additional Notes
*General Participant and Trade Participant categories of membership must either be clearing members or, as non-clearing members, must enter into a clearing agreement with a General Participant who is a clearing member.

**It is understood that "Own" business is business transacted solely for the benefit of that member, a wholly owned subsidiary of that member, the parent company of that member, or a company in that member's group of companies. Such business undertaken by a member on behalf of another group company must not in turn be business undertaken on behalf of a third party.

The criteria for membership which an applicant must meet at the outset and must continue to meet as a member are summarized below. They are detailed in the ICE Futures Singapore rules and members are expected to inform ICE Futures Singapore of failure or anticipated failure to meet the membership criteria.
