The firm also introduced a two-level Introducing Broker structure that pays commissions on direct referrals and extended networks.
The latest update is reportedly designed to help traders avoid additional costs that can reduce profits in the financial and crypto markets.
The Vietnamese flag hoisted in the city center of Nha Trang
Vietnam’s retail trading market saw a new development
this month as Vantage Markets introduced swap-free trading, an upgraded Introducing
Broker (IB) commission model, and round-the-clock customer support. The changes, launched on September 1, mark the
brokerage’s latest effort to expand its presence in the country.
Swap-Free Trading for Long-Term Holding
According to the company, the swap-free option removes
overnight fees on designated trades. Such charges are common across financial
and crypto platforms and can reduce profits for clients holding positions for
extended periods.
Vantage said the feature is aimed at traders who want
to avoid these additional costs. The firm also rolled out a two-level IB
structure, allowing participants to earn from both direct referrals and their
extended network.
Vantage said the model has clearer rules, faster account setup, and more efficient backend management, all of which aim to improve partners' overall user experience.

Commenting about the new offering, Marc Despallieres, the
CEO of Vantage Markets, said: “These upgrades in Vietnam show our commitment to
not only providing advanced trading solutions but also creating a supportive
ecosystem for our clients and partners.”
“By combining swap-free trading, a stronger IB
program, and genuine 24/7 local support, we are empowering traders in Vietnam
to trade with greater confidence and trust.”
24/7 Local Client Support
Alongside the trading and partner program changes,
Vantage introduced continuous client support in Vietnam. Unlike many firms
relying on chatbots, Vantage said it will offer real-person service at all
hours, staffed by local teams. Brokerages operating in Vietnam have been adding new
tools and services as competition in the sector intensifies.
Vantage, which has operated for more than 15 years,
offers CFDs on forex, commodities, indices, shares, ETFs, and bonds. With the
new features, the firm is positioning itself to appeal to both retail clients
and partners in a fast-growing market.
Beyond geographical expansion, Vantage Markets is also
expanding its product offering. In May, the company expanded access to its copy trading feature by rolling it out on its Client Portal website, a service that
was previously limited to the broker’s mobile app.
The company said the move gives traders more
flexibility in managing their accounts and strategies, while eligible users
opening a Copy Trading account through the web portal may qualify for a deposit
bonus of up to 50% in credit. The update enables clients to follow and automatically
replicate the strategies of top-performing traders directly from their
browsers.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
