Carbon Trader® service

Wallet and custody workflows

Carbon Trader® gives users account tools for wallet preferences, NZU activity records and ETS withdrawal requests where applicable.

Default delivery preferences

Users can choose whether settled NZUs should be held through the Carbon Trader® wallet workflow or delivered to a verified ETS account. The correct choice depends on the user’s own operational needs and account setup.

Wallet activity visibility

Wallet activity records make it easier to see available, reserved and pending movements. This helps users understand how NZUs are linked to active sell orders, settlement steps or withdrawal requests.

ETS withdrawal requests

Where withdrawal is supported, users can request delivery to their verified ETS account. This process depends on accurate ETS details and controlled release steps.

Custody statements

Custody statement records help provide visibility over holdings and movements. They support account review, reconciliation and operational communication.

Where this fits in the wider ETS environment

Carbon Trader® is designed to support marketplace and settlement workflows, while the official ETS system remains the record infrastructure for unit holdings and transfers. Participants can read more about ETS accounts through the New Zealand Emissions Trading Register and should make sure their own account details are accurate before requesting delivery outside the Carbon Trader® wallet.
