Market middlemen or market intermediaries or financial intermediaries

To guarantee smooth market transactions, numerous corporate entities collaborate with one another. Market intermediaries collaborate seamlessly to guarantee that your transactions go through without a hitch, starting from the moment you log in to a trading terminal (let's say to purchase shares) and ending when these shares arrive in your DEMAT account.

These organisations operate in the background, silently carrying out their duties while always adhering to SEBI regulations and guaranteeing a simple and seamless experience for your stock market transactions. Generally speaking, these organisations are referred to as market intermediates or financial intermediaries.The financial markets function within an ecosystem that is created by these interconnected financial intermediaries.

Market intermediaries are as follows: 

  • The Stock Broker

  • Depository and Depository Participants
  • Banks
  • NSE clearing Limited and ICCL
