Monthly Spread rebate structure

Rebates are calculated on the volume traded in each asset class.

Trading rebates

Forex

How it works:  To qualify for rebates on Forex spread bets, your trades on Forex spread bets must be equal to or greater than €50 million in notional value for the month. Once this threshold of €50 million has been reached, certain rebate rates as listed below are applicable for every €1 million traded per month. If your trading activity in the month meets this requirement, the following rebate rates will be available.

Note: m = million. Amounts shown in €

Trading volume rebate forex example:
Your total trade notional value in the month is €250m. You therefore achieve tier 2. The tier 2 rebate rate is €7 for every €1m you trade in the month. Your monthly volume rebate would be = €1,750 (250 x €7).

Subject to these Rebate Terms, your rebate amount will usually be credited to your Account within the first few days of the following calendar month.

4. Although the monthly rebates are usually paid within the first few days of the following calendar month, it may take longer to process the payment. CMC Markets will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss caused by a delayed or missed rebate payment.

5. Rebates will be calculated daily in Euros in accordance with the provisions above under the section “monthly spread bets rebate structure”, converted to your Account Currency (if necessary) using the Currency Conversion Rate and credited to your Account during the calendar month following the calculation period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rebates under these Rebate Terms shall only be due and owing at the point of crediting by CMC Markets in its sole discretion.

6. All rebate payments shall be inclusive of any value added taxes or similar consumption taxes as applicable.

7. If you achieve a certain tier in one asset class, you automatically qualify for tier 1 rebates for all other asset classes traded and listed in these Rebate Terms. Following that there will be no cross-triggering across asset classes for rebates above tier 1. Rebates for tiers above tier 1 for each asset class shall only be triggered in accordance with the monthly turnover thresholds for that particular asset class as specified in clause 3 of these Rebate Terms.

8. The rebate amount rate for a particular asset class will be calculated based on the highest tier achieved for that asset class.

9. We will aggregate all monthly turnover trading value amounts for a particular asset class across all your Accounts registered to the same email address when determining the tier for rebates. The relevant portion of your rebate amounts will be credited to your respective Accounts based on the turnover generated by each individual Account.

10. CMC Markets reserves the right to withdraw the rebate program or amend these Rebate Terms (including the calculation methods specified above under the section “monthly spread bets rebate structure”) at any time without giving prior notice. Even repeated unconditional rebate payments do not constitute a commitment to make further payments in the future.

11. CMC Markets reserves the right to cancel any rebate payments where, in CMC Markets’ view, transactions are made to manipulate the rebate process.

12. Rebates are subject to, and conditional upon, your compliance with these Rebate Terms and the Terms of Business. In addition to any rights and remedies CMC Markets may have, any breach or suspected breach of these Rebate Terms and/or the Terms of Business will entitle CMC Markets to stop paying the rebates immediately and without prior written notice and/or reclaim any rebate payments already paid under these Rebate Terms.

13. Nothing in these Rebate Terms limits CMC Markets’ ability to exercise its rights in accordance with the Terms of Business.

14. The rebate payment should not form the basis of any decisions made in relation to potential trades or Account activity. Furthermore, the rebate payment is not intended to limit your liability in respect of your trades and may not be used to set-off any payment obligation you have to CMC Markets.

15. A rebate payment cannot be used to satisfy your total margin requirement, until such time as the payment has been credited to your Account. Please note that normal rules and procedures in relation to an Account Close-Out will continue to apply and you should not rely on a rebate payment to prevent an Account Close-Out.

16. CMC Markets’ decisions in any matter in relation to the rebates granted under the Rebate Terms will be final and conclusive. All valuations and calculations for the purposes of the rebates hereunder will be determined by CMC Markets and are final and binding.

17. The rebate will not be payable in respect of trades that are subsequently voided, reversed or cancelled by CMC Markets in accordance with the Terms of Business and related documents. If the rebate has already been paid in respect of trades that are subsequently voided, reversed or cancelled by CMC Markets, then CMC Markets will deduct the rebates already paid in respect of such trades from your Account.
