Apply to join the Chicago Commercial Paper Exchange
Start your participant application. Create an account, then work through a short, guided set of steps — your firm and roles, documents, agreements, and banking. A progress bar shows where you are, and you can save and resume any time.
Already an approved participant? Sign in to manage your firm — review your details and request changes.
Thinking of applying? Read the exchange's documents first, by role — opening or downloading them does not agree to anything.
1 · Application
Register with your business email, then tell us about your firm — its legal identity, addresses, the roles you want, and the people we should contact.
2 · KYC & Documents
Upload your authorized-signer ID and W-9 (issuers also add a credit-rating letter and program documents).
3 · Agreements
Review the exchange rules and AML policy, e-sign the consent to jurisdiction, and acknowledge the fee schedule.
4 · Banking
Choose how many accounts you need and designate a bank for each — an exchange settlement bank, or your own bank with micro-deposit verification.
5–7 · Review, setup & go-live
We take it from here: compliance review, approval, technical setup, and go-live. We'll email you as your application advances.
A progress bar at the top of every step shows where you are and what's next. You can save and come back any time.
