Forex Rebate and Cashback FAQ
Clear answers for traders before they open, transfer, or link a broker account.
Rebate basics
Start here for what cashback is, how it works, and how it affects trading cost.
What is a forex rebate or forex cashback?
A forex rebate, also called forex cashback, is a partial return of eligible trading cost generated through broker spread or commission.
When a broker recognizes GFX as the Introducing Broker for an eligible account, the broker may pay GFX an IB commission from qualifying trading volume. GFX then shares the eligible portion back to the trader as cashback.
How does the GFX rebate program work?
The process starts with account attribution. A trader either opens a new eligible broker account through GFX or asks whether an existing account can be linked or transferred.
After the broker confirms eligibility, trading volume is reported by the broker. GFX reviews the eligible activity, calculates cashback according to the confirmed rebate terms, and processes payment through the available payout method.
Does using GFX increase my spreads or commission?
No. GFX does not add a spread markup or charge an extra trading commission.
Your trading conditions remain governed by the broker. Cashback is paid from eligible IB commission, so the goal is to reduce your effective trading cost rather than increase it first and discount it later.
Account setup
Questions about attribution, existing accounts, and opening through an IB arrangement.
Can I use an existing trading account?
In some cases, yes. Existing accounts are reviewed case by case because they may already be assigned to another partner, broker entity, or internal partner assignment.
Some brokers can transfer or link an existing account after support approval. Others may require a new eligible account, a new client area, or a partner code before rebate tracking can begin.
Will I continue receiving rebates after approval?
Once an eligible account is correctly attributed to GFX, rebates can continue while the broker relationship remains active and eligible volume is reported.
If a broker changes IB terms, entity rules, product coverage, or reporting processes, availability or rate may need review.
Brokers and rates
How broker partners are selected, why rates differ, and what makes a program reliable.
Which brokers are available for cashback?
GFX supports reviewed broker partners across forex, metals, indices, commodities, and other CFD markets where available.
Availability still depends on broker entity, country restrictions, account type, traded instrument, and correct account attribution.
Why do rebate rates differ?
Rates are based on the IB commission available from each broker arrangement and can differ by account type, product group, volume tier, and jurisdiction.
The highest headline rate is not always the best choice; reliability, reporting clarity, payment method, and trading conditions also matter.
Payments
When cashback is reviewed, approved, and paid after eligible trading volume is reported.
How and when are rebates paid?
Payment timing depends on broker reporting and the payout method available after review.
Where available, rebates may be credited to the eligible trading account. Other payout methods may include USDT, e-wallet, bank transfer, or another supported method after checks.
Do I need to manually claim rebates?
Usually no manual claim is needed after the broker confirms account attribution and eligible volume is reported.
GFX may still need to review account attribution, broker statements, minimum payout thresholds, payment details, or compliance information before payment approval.
Trust and risk
What GFX does, what rebates do not solve, and the trading-risk context.
Is Global FX Rebates a broker?
No. GFX is a forex rebate and cashback provider, not a broker.
GFX does not execute trades, hold client trading funds, manage investments, set broker pricing, or provide investment advice.
Do forex rebates remove trading risk?
No. Cashback can reduce effective trading cost, but it does not remove market risk.
Leveraged forex and CFD trading remains high risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
