Interest on margin is a bonus program where Weltrade pays daily interest on unused funds in your account. It works similarly to a savings account, but with the added benefit of keeping your money available for trading at any time.

This feature is important because:

  • It allows your idle funds to grow even when you are not actively trading.

  • It gives you an extra source of income alongside your trading results.

  • It provides flexibility, as you can withdraw or use your funds for trading without restrictions.

Important: Interest on margin is not available for Demo, Swap-free, and copy trading accounts.

  • Daily accrual – interest is calculated and credited every day.

  • No lock-in period – funds remain fully accessible for trading and withdrawals.

  • Automatic process – once connected, you don’t need to take additional steps.
