Commission credit is a monetary amount in your account currency, shown as a separate balance you can monitor.
Simply place trades and pay the usual trading fees upfront. We'll automatically use the commission credit to reimburse you for eligible fees at the end of each trading day until the credit runs out or expires.
You can use commission credit to cover commission fees on trades of following products: stocks, ETFs, bonds, futures, options.
How to use commission credit?
You don't need to take any special action to utilize your commission credit. If your account has a commission credit, it will be automatically applied.
When trading products that incur commission fees-such as stocks, ETFs, futures, and bonds, your commission credit will come into play. Initially, you will pay the trading fees upon executing a trade. At the end of the day, we will refund any commission costs covered by your credit balance. The refund will be in the currency of your main account.
