FXCM runs a volume-based cash rebate program for active traders. The more notional volume you generate across qualifying instruments each calendar month, the higher the rebate rate you unlock. Rebates are calculated across four tiers for forex, commodities, shares, and cryptocurrencies, with separate flat rates for index CFDs.
This is not a bonus or credit that sits behind conditions. The rebate is paid as cash into your account within 15 business days after the end of each calendar month. There is no cap on how much you can earn, and your position scales naturally as your volume grows.
| Note: FXCM reviews each account's notional volume on the last business day of the month. Your account must be open, active, and in good standing on that date for the rebate to be credited. |
To participate in the FXCM Rebate Program you need to either already hold an account with FXCM or open one. Beyond that, there is one financial threshold to clear: a minimum combined notional volume of USD 10 million across all qualifying instruments within the same calendar month.
Volume from forex pairs, shares, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and baskets all count toward your monthly combined total. Index CFD volume is included in your combined notional figure for tier qualification but carries its own fixed rebate rate regardless of which tier you fall into.
| Tip: You can check whether your current trading activity would qualify using FXCM's volume calculator on the rebate program page before you apply. |
The four-tier structure below applies to forex pairs, commodities, shares, cryptocurrencies, and baskets. Your tier is determined by your total combined monthly notional volume across all qualifying instruments.
| Tier | Monthly Notional Volume (USD) | Rebate per Million (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | USD 10M to under USD 50M | USD 2.50 |
| Tier 2 | USD 50M to under USD 200M | USD 5.00 |
| Tier 3 | USD 200M to under USD 400M | USD 10.00 |
| Tier 4 | USD 400M and above | USD 15.00 |
Example: If you trade EUR/USD and reach USD 400 million in notional volume for the month, you fall into Tier 4 and earn USD 15 per million traded. At 400 million total, that is a USD 6,000 rebate for the month.
Index CFDs carry flat rebate rates that do not change based on your tier. Every index listed below pays at its fixed rate regardless of total monthly volume.
| Index | Rebate per Million (USD) |
|---|---|
| AUS200, CHN50, EUSTX50, GER30, HKG33, JPN225, NAS100, SPX500, US2000, ESP35, FRA40, VOLX | USD 3.00 |
| UK100, US30 | USD 1.00 |
Example: If you trade SPX500 and generate USD 350 million in notional index volume for the month, you receive USD 3 per million regardless of your overall tier. At 350 million, that is a USD 1,050 rebate from SPX500 alone.
FXCM adds up notional volume across all qualifying instruments within the same calendar month to determine which tier applies. Once your tier is set, the rebate rate for that tier applies to all your FX, commodity, share, and crypto volume. Index volume earns at its flat rate in parallel.
One specific rule applies to gold and silver. For calculating notional volume on XAU/USD, FXCM caps the gold price at USD 4,000 per ounce and silver (XAG/USD) at USD 80 per ounce. If you trade gold at USD 5,000 per ounce, the notional volume for that trade is calculated at USD 4,000. This cap only affects volume calculation, not your execution price.
Signing up for the rebate program takes a few minutes. Complete the application form on FXCM's rebate program page with your full name, email address, and account number. FXCM will review your submission and confirm your eligibility.
Rebates are paid within 15 business days after each calendar month closes. FXCM may amend the rebate structure, calculation method, or qualifying conditions at any time without prior notice.
