Alpaca Launches Fully Paid Securities Lending for Broker API

Alpaca has launched a Fully Paid Securities Lending program for U.S. equities through its Broker API, aiming to help brokerage partners diversify revenue beyond trading activity by enabling customers to earn passive income from fully owned securities. Under the program, securities may be lent to institutions for uses such as short selling, market making, and hedging, with borrowing fees shared between brokers and participating clients. Alpaca highlights potential benefits including new revenue, stronger asset retention, customizable pricing and revenue-sharing tiers, detailed lending transparency, and a managed system for lending, reporting, and interest booking. The company states that loaned securities are not SIPC-protected, but cash collateral worth at least 100% of their value is held at a third-party bank to protect customers if borrowed securities cannot be returned. Alpaca notes that securities lending involves risks and encourages prospective participants to review its disclosures before entering a lending agreement.
