FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers for beginners. Using RebateFX is free, and you need no account with us.
The basics
What a rebate is, what it costs and how we earn.
What is a trading rebate?
A rebate is a cash refund returned from the transaction fees you pay to your broker.
Every trade has a cost: a spread or a commission. You opened your account through our partner link, so the broker pays us a partner reward. Under its partner programme, the broker pays part of it to you as your rebate. RebateFX never holds or sends your money.
Does joining RebateFX cost anything?
No. RebateFX is completely free for traders. There are no registration fees, monthly subscriptions, or hidden charges.
Your trading conditions (spreads, execution, leverage) remain exactly identical to opening an account directly with the broker.
What is a lot in trading?
In forex trading, a lot is the standard unit used to measure the size of a trade. One standard lot represents 100,000 units of the base currency.
Rebates in forex are typically calculated as a fixed dollar amount for each completed standard lot.
Do I need an account with RebateFX?
No. You do not need to register an account with RebateFX to receive rebates.
You trade directly with your broker under our partner code. The broker pays the rebate under its partner programme: Exness pays it to your Exness account, and each crypto exchange pays it its own way.
How does RebateFX make money?
Brokers pay us an introducing partner commission for referring active trading volume.
Under the broker's partner programme, part of that commission goes to you as a rebate. The broker pays it to you, not us. We keep the rest to run RebateFX.
Getting paid
When the money arrives, and how to check it.
When and how do I receive my rebate payments?
Your broker pays the rebate, on the schedule of its partner programme. Exness pays it to your Exness account. Our Exness page shows the payment period.
Each crypto exchange pays its kickback the way its own programme sets out. Each exchange page on our site explains how.
Do I need to request a withdrawal from RebateFX?
No. RebateFX has no wallet and never holds your money. The broker or exchange pays the rebate to your account with them, under its partner programme.
You withdraw or trade it through your broker's usual payment methods, under the broker's rules.
How do I know I am paid in full?
You can verify every rebate transaction directly inside your broker personal cabinet or exchange statement.
Because payments are calculated and deposited by the broker, their official ledger provides an immutable record of every distribution.
Are all financial products rebated?
Most major forex pairs, precious metals, and standard crypto contracts can earn a rebate under the broker's partner programme.
Certain exotic instruments or copy trading programs are excluded under official broker partner rules.
Your accounts
New accounts, existing accounts and how many you can link.
I already have an account. Can I still join?
Yes. Most partnered brokers allow existing clients to change their partner code or transfer an account under our Partner ID.
We provide step-by-step instructions and ready-to-use chat templates in our onboarding wizard to help you switch easily.
Can I stop receiving rebates anytime?
Yes. You remain in complete control of your trading accounts at all times.
If you ever wish to disconnect from RebateFX, you can contact broker support or transfer to another partner with zero exit fees.
How many trading accounts can I link?
You can link as many trading accounts or sub-accounts as you wish under your broker profile.
With a free RebateFX account, add each new account you open with our partner code. We check that it is linked. The broker then pays rebates on its own schedule.
Where do I find my account number or exchange UID?
For forex brokers, your trading account number is clearly visible on your personal dashboard or MT4/MT5 terminal.
For crypto exchanges, your UID is displayed in your profile settings in the upper corner of your mobile app or web platform.
Safety
Your money, your data and how to spot a fake channel.
Is my trading capital safe?
Yes. Your capital stays securely inside your regulated broker at all times. RebateFX never requests your trading password, 2FA codes, or account deposits.
RebateFX only acts as an informational platform that provides tracking and rate transparency.
Is the spread higher through your link?
No. Opening through our link doesn't change your spread or fees.
You get the same account conditions as opening directly with the broker. Your trading costs stay the same.
Is my personal information safe?
Yes. RebateFX never collects your personal identification documents, financial credentials, or trading passwords.
We only handle publicly linkable identifiers like account numbers and exchange UIDs to confirm your rebate tracking.
How do I spot a fake RebateFX channel?
RebateFX will never message you first, and we will never ask for your broker password, 2FA codes, or deposits.
Always verify that you are communicating through our official channels listed on our website.
