Join the list of brokers committed to greater transparency and integrity — backed by independent verification.
Our mission is to address a longstanding gap in alternative finance: the lack of clear oversight around how sensitive merchant data is handled. As a result, misuse and theft of that data has become far too common. Secure Broker gives brokers a way to stand out as a trusted source.
When members on both sides come together,
the entire data chain is protected.
Members are listed in the Secure Funder™ portal, get access to the Secure Funder network, and your logo featured at program-sponsored events.
Certification contributes to greater trust, stronger relationships, repeat business, and more deal flow.
Independent third-party verification that carries more weight than simply saying you operate responsibly.
Security standards evolve alongside emerging regulation. Get ahead of what's inevitably coming instead of scrambling to catch up.
Signal your commitment to the industry immediately.
90-day grace period to complete verification.
A program for ISOs and brokers,
in alternative finance.
Some applicants already have safeguards in place. Others use the framework to work toward certified status. The program supports both.
Unsecured brokers risk internal backdooring.
Stolen deals lead to excessive stacking and increased PTI.
When merchants are overextended, everyone in the stack takes the hit.
With nearly 20 years in alternative finance, Christina brings deep operational experience spanning ISO operations, funder relationships, and the day-to-day realities of how merchant data moves through the industry. She founded Aquamark to address industry-wide data security challenges she witnessed firsthand, and created Secure Funder and Secure Broker to establish a practical framework for self-governance.
