Is a forex rebate safe? How to vet a rebate provider

A rebate does not change your funds or your trading account - your money sits with the broker and the rebate is an extra refund. So 'safe' comes down to two things: is the broker reliable, and is the provider transparent.

Your money is with the broker

Deposits and positions stay in your broker account; the rebate provider does not touch your trading funds. Choosing a regulated broker comes first.

Vet the rebate provider

• Are the rate, payout cycle and payout method clear and verifiable?
• Is the IB link clear and checkable?
• Are terms, risk disclosure and contact details available?
• Any 'guaranteed profit' claims - treat them as a red flag.

Regulation of the broker

Protection differs by entity; confirm which entity your account belongs to (see the regulation section on the INFINOX rebate page). This page is general information, not investment advice.
