IFC Markets review: Broker introduces up to 7% annual earnings on unused funds
IFC Markets has introduced a interest-accrual initiative that enables traders to earn up to 7% annually on the unused portion of their account balance. The program is designed to ensure that client funds remain productive even when only part of the deposit is involved in active trading or when traders temporarily pause their operations.
- Chosen by 0+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
Interest is accrued daily based on free margin — defined as equity minus the margin locked in open positions — and credited at the end of each calendar month. There are no minimum deposit requirements, limits on the interest amount, or restrictions on the use of credited funds.
Interest rates based on monthly trading activity
Instead of a fixed rate, IFC Markets applies a tiered system tied to the account’s total trading volume for the month. The more actively a trader operates, the higher the potential return on free funds.
Clients who close fewer than 10 conditional lots during the month do not receive interest. Accounts with a trading turnover between 10 and 30 lots qualify for an annual rate of 1%. Those who reach 30 to 50 lots earn 2% annually, while trading volumes between 50 and 70 lots increase the rate to 4%. The maximum rate of 7% is granted to accounts exceeding 70 closed lots within the month.
Only closed positions are counted toward trading volume, with the exception of zero-profit trades and certain technical operations ("Unlocked Position" and "Reopen Position") on NetTradeX accounts, which are excluded from the calculation. Islamic (swap-free) accounts and IFCM Invest service accounts are not eligible for this promotion.
Interest is calculated daily based on the account status at 00:00 CET, accumulated throughout the month, and credited automatically at month-end.
Enhancing platform value and client profitability
The company states that this initiative supports both active and cautious traders by ensuring that idle funds continue generating returns. The program complements the broader IFC Markets ecosystem, which aims to provide a stable and efficient environment for traders of all experience levels.
By rewarding higher trading activity with enhanced interest rates, IFC Markets encourages disciplined participation while allowing clients to maximize the efficiency of their capital during quieter trading periods.
