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.
