How it works

You earn interest on the uninvested cash on your account in each currency.

If your total balance does not exceed Level A, no interest will be paid.

If your total balance is above Level A, you will receive a variable interest rate, scaled proportionally with the deposit amount. The more you deposit, the higher the interest rate applied to your total balance.

For balance amounts above Level B, you will receive the highest interest rate on the additional balance with no upper limit or lock-in period on the deposit.

Refer to the calculator at the top of the page to estimate the effective interest rate on your balance depending on total balance and currency.

Please note that when you trade margin products, your interest is calculated based on your Net Free Equity (NFE) and Account Value which you can read more about in our FAQ.

If you do not hold any margin positions, then your Net Free Equity is equal to your cash balance. For full Net Free Equity definition & conditions, please click here.

You can find an overview of the daily interest you have earned on the Account Page in the platform. Navigate to Historical Reports > Account Interest Details. Here you can see applied interest rates and amounts credited to your account for different periods.

If you have a negative cash balance, you will be charged negative interest based on the market rate, plus a mark-up. To read more about how the rate for a negative cash balance is calculated, click here.
