What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
Webull Financial does not provide recommendations. Webull Financial predominantly makes its money from: payment from market centers for order flow on your self-directed trading; interest on overnight cash balances held in your account; and interest charged to your account when we lend you funds for margin trading. The way we make money may conflict with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the services we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means.
Webull Financial mitigates its conflicts of interest by applying controls and supervising processes and employees. We do not believe that any of our potential conflicts of interest, including those listed above, create a material conflict of interest with you or any of our customers.
