Getting Started with an Entity Account
Businesses, funds, and other entities can trade on Kalshi by applying for an institutional account at institutional.kalshi.com.
What documents are required?
During the application process, you may be asked to provide:
Entity formation documents (certificate of incorporation, articles of organization, etc.)
A recent bank or financial statement for the entity
Government-issued ID for all authorized signers
Proof of address for the entity
Source of funds documentation, if requested
Note: Bank statements must be for the entity's account, not a personal account. If the entity does not have a dedicated bank account, contact us at [email protected] for guidance.
How do authorized users work?
Entity accounts can have multiple authorized users who are permitted to trade on behalf of the entity. To add an authorized user:
Contact us at [email protected] with the name and email of the person you want to authorize.
The individual may need to complete identity verification before being added.
All authorized users share the entity's trading account and balances.
Can I have both a personal and entity account?
No, Kalshi members cannot maintain both a personal account and an entity account simultaneously. If you need to transition from a personal to an entity account, refer to the entity application process for details.
What about API and FIX access?
Entity accounts may apply for Advanced API access. FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol connectivity is available to qualifying members. FIX is a standardized electronic communications protocol used for real-time exchange of securities transaction information. This connectivity is available to members who meet minimum activity and technical requirements. For details on API tiers and eligibility criteria, see the API documentation. To begin an application, contact us at [email protected].
What if my application is denied?
If your entity application is not approved, you may receive communication regarding next steps. If you believe the decision was made in error or you have additional documentation to provide, you can contact us at [email protected] for further guidance.
