ActivTrades, the multi-award-winning Forex and CFD broker, has introduced a new interest offer that pays clients a return on the free margin sitting idle in their trading accounts. The initiative, available to clients who open an account through the broker’s Mauritius entity, regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC), allows traders to earn 3.3% annual interest on US dollar balances up to $100,000, and 2.4% on euro balances, simply for holding funds in their trading account.
The move addresses a familiar frustration for active traders: cash that isn’t currently deployed in a position traditionally sits unremunerated, effectively losing value in real terms. By turning free margin into a yield-generating asset, ActivTrades is giving clients a reason to keep capital on the platform even between trades, rather than transferring it elsewhere while waiting for the next trading opportunity.
A New Way to Put Uninvested Capital to Work
Free margin (the portion of account equity not tied up in open positions) has long been a passive, non-productive part of a trading account. With this offer, ActivTrades converts that unused capital into a source of steady, passive income, calculated daily and credited automatically once a month directly to its traders’ accounts.
The interest is available on both major currencies used by international traders: the US dollar, where balances up to $100,000 qualify now for a 3.3% annual rate, and the euro, which earns 2.4% annually. For traders who typically maintain a cash buffer in their account for risk management or margin purposes, the offer turns that buffer into an additional, low-effort revenue stream layered on top of their trading activity.
How Can Traders Access This New ActivTrades’ Offer?
Getting started is straightforward: traders interested in earning interest on their free margin need to open a live trading account through ActivTrades’ Mauritius entity regulated by the FSC. Once the account is funded in US dollars or euros, the uninvested portion of the balance — up to the $100,000 threshold for USD accounts, begins accruing interest automatically.
There is no separate enrollment process, no minimum deposit requirement to unlock the offer, and no need to actively trade in order to earn the interest; it applies to the free margin sitting in the account, independent of whether that capital is deployed in open positions. Clients can continue trading more than 2,000 CFDs as they normally would, while the untouched portion of their balance works passively in the background.
As with any interest-bearing offer, traders are encouraged to review the specific terms, currency thresholds, and crediting schedule on ActivTrades’ website before opening an account, to fully understand how the rate applies to their balance.
Why Traders Choose ActivTrades
The new interest offer adds to a broader value proposition that has made ActivTrades one of the more recognized names in retail Forex and CFD trading. The broker has picked up more than 75 international awards, a track record that reflects consistent recognition across the industry for its trading conditions, platform quality, and client service.
Execution speed is central to that reputation: ActivTrades processes orders in under 0.004 seconds, a level of speed that matters to traders operating in fast-moving markets where even small delays can affect outcomes. That performance is paired with a commission-free trading model and negative balance protection, which ensures clients cannot lose more than the funds held in their account.
There is also no minimum deposit required to open an account, lowering the barrier to entry for traders at any stage of their journey. Once onboard, clients gain access to more than 2,000 tradable instruments spanning 7 asset classes, giving them the flexibility to diversify across currencies, indices, shares, commodities,cryptocurrencies and more, all from a single trading account.
ActivTrades also gives traders a choice of trading platform, rather than locking them into a single ecosystem. Clients can trade through ActivTrader, the broker’s own next-generation proprietary platform, or through the industry-standard MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, as well as TradingView, giving traders the freedom to work with the charting tools, automation features, and interface they’re most comfortable with.
Behind all of this is a support structure built to serve a genuinely international client base of more than 300,000 traders worldwide. ActivTrades offers trained customer support in 14 languages, and that support has translated into results: the broker reports a 95% client satisfaction rate, underscoring a service model that traders consistently rate highly.
A Broker Investing in Client Value
Commenting on the launch of the interest offer, Nedko Geshev, Chief Communications Officer at ActivTrades, said: "We know that not every dollar or euro in a trading account is meant to be in the market at all times. With this offer, we wanted to make sure our clients’ capital keeps working for them even when it isn’t tied up in a position. It’s part of our broader commitment to giving traders more value as their long-term trading partner."
For traders weighing where to hold and grow their capital, the addition of interest on free margin gives ActivTrades’ Mauritius entity a distinctive edge, combining competitive returns on uninvested cash with the execution speed, platform choice, and global support that have already established the broker as a trusted name in the industry.
