FBS Standard account

Standard is FBS's main account: your balance is in US dollars or euros, there is no trading commission, and you trade from 0.01 lot on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or the FBS app. It suits traders who are past the first steps and trade regularly. Because FBS pays an IB commission on Standard, this is the account where cashback works.

How much cashback you get on FBS Standard

We return 90% of the IB commission FBS pays us: 27% of spread on every lot you close, in profit or in loss. For example, that is about $2.72 per lot on EURUSD (rates reviewed 14 Oct 2026). Your spreads and trading conditions stay the same as with a direct FBS account. Cashback is paid monthly, usually on the 1st–3rd, via USDT (TRC20), Neteller or Skrill.

FBS Cent account

Cent shows your balance in cents, so you can trade a live account with small amounts — useful for first live trades or testing a strategy. It opens only through a partner link and earns no cashback.
