B2Trader Commission

The commission cashback mechanism allows you to distribute a part of the commissions earned from trading a specific currency between the clients who have contributed to the currency promotion.

Currently, commission cashback can be enabled only for the B2Trader platform.

To enable distribution of cashback rewards between your clients, configure and enable one or several commission cashback plans (to learn more, refer to How to configure commission cashback plans for B2Trader).

To receive cashback rewards, your clients must meet the following general requirements:

  • There must be funds in a target currency (the one is being promoted) on a client trading account at the end of a period for which cashback is rewarded.

  • No trades in a target currency must be made by a client during this period.

You can enable the Hold option as an additional requirement for receiving cashback rewards when configuring a commission cashback plan (to learn more, refer to How to configure commission cashback plans for B2Trader).

The cashback rewards are distributed between clients at the end of each period specified in a commission cashback plan. The cashback amount that a client receives is proportional to the balance of a target currency on a client trading account at the end of a given period.

The cashback rewards can be paid in another currency than a specified target currency.
