Omnibus Account

What Does Omnibus Account Mean?
An account between two futures merchants (brokers). It involves the transaction of individual accounts which are combined in this type of account, allowing for easier management by the futures merchant.

Investopedia explains Omnibus Account
This protects the identities of the individual account holders, because the futures merchant transacts for them.
