The steps below outline how your client goes from a prospect to submitting an application. #### Counterparty Creation In Kooltra, clients are referred to as counterparties (this term also covers all trading counterparts, including clients and liquidity providers), and setting one up is quick and easy. First, go to the "Counterparties" section in the left sidebar, then click "Create New Counterparty" at the top right of the screen. From there, just enter the client details—like counterparty type, settlement type, base currency, and primary contact information. Once everything’s filled in, click "Create," and you're all set.  #### ![Counterparty Creation](https://help.kooltra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Counterparty%20Creation.gif?width=562&height=255&name=Counterparty%20Creation.gif) #### Updating Client Applications After creating a counterparty, you’ll be immediately prompted to start their onboarding application or return to it whenever you're ready. All your clients' KYC details are easy to manage through the platform, keeping their information organized and compliant with just a few clicks ![Updating Client Applications](https://help.kooltra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Updating%20Client%20Applications.gif?width=600&height=296&name=Updating%20Client%20Applications.gif) #### Sending the Application to your Client You can either complete the onboarding application yourself if you have all of your client's details or just fill in the basics and send the application to your client with one click—they’ll complete the rest. Once submitted, it goes directly to your client relationship manager for review, streamlining the process for both you and your client. - [Getting started](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Kooltra Access](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#kooltra-access) - [Knowledge Resources](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#knowledge-resources) - [Entity Setup](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#entity-setup) - [Client Journey at a Glance](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/client-journey-at-a-glance?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Onboarding and Client Setup](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/client-journey-at-a-glance?hsLang=en#onboarding-and-client-setup) - [Trading and Settlements](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/client-journey-at-a-glance?hsLang=en#trading-and-settlements) - [Counterparty Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/counterparty-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Counterparty Setup & Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/counterparty-management?hsLang=en#counterparty-setup-management) - [Counterparty Overview](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/counterparty-management?hsLang=en#counterparty-overview) - [Beneficiaries](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/counterparty-management?hsLang=en#beneficiaries) - [Data Importing](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/counterparty-management?hsLang=en#data-importing) - [Trading & Trade Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/trading-trade-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Trade Creation & Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/trading-trade-management?hsLang=en#trade-creation-management) - [Spread Groups](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/trading-trade-management?hsLang=en#spread-groups) - [Trade Blotters](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/trading-trade-management?hsLang=en#trade-blotters) - [Trade Matching](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/trading-trade-management?hsLang=en#trade-matching) - [Order Creation & Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/trading-trade-management?hsLang=en#order-creation-management) - [Cash Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/cash-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Cashflows & Adjustments](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/cash-management?hsLang=en#cashflows-adjustments) - [Account Balances](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/cash-management?hsLang=en#account-balances) - [Settlements](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/cash-management?hsLang=en#settlements) - [Reconciliation](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/cash-management?hsLang=en#reconciliation) - [Reporting](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/reporting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Custom Reports](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/reporting?hsLang=en#custom-reports) - [Confirmations & Documentation](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/reporting?hsLang=en#confirmations-documentation) - [Compliance](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/compliance?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Regulatory Reporting](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/compliance?hsLang=en#regulatory-reporting) - [Client Onboarding & KYC](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/compliance?hsLang=en#client-onboarding-kyc) - [Transaction Risk Monitoring](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/compliance?hsLang=en#transaction-risk-monitoring) - [Risk Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/risk-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Client Margin](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/risk-management?hsLang=en#client-margin) - [Trading Limits](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/risk-management?hsLang=en#trading-limits) - [Credit Engine](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/risk-management?hsLang=en#credit-engine) - [Payments Portal](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/payments-portal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Trading & Cash Management](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/payments-portal?hsLang=en#trading-cash-management) - [Beneficiaries](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/payments-portal?hsLang=en#beneficiaries) - [Dealer Intervention](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/payments-portal?hsLang=en#dealer-intervention) - [Blotters & Reports](https://help.kooltra.com/knowledge-base/payments-portal?hsLang=en#blotters-reports) [![Kooltra\_Logo\_Green\_Eggplant\_RGB-1](https://help.kooltra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Kooltra_Logo_Green_Eggplant_RGB-1.webp?width=200&height=67&name=Kooltra_Logo_Green_Eggplant_RGB-1.webp "Kooltra_Logo_Green_Eggplant_RGB-1")](https://help.kooltra.com/?hsLang=en) kooltra.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, Kooltra, Ltd
