With Intertrader you can take your own view on global shares, indices, forex, commodities and more, all on one trading account. Join today for PC and mobile trading with one-to-one support and pro-level trading tools.
We cut the cost of trading, starting with the spread itself. The difference between the BUY and SELL prices for any given market – called the spread – is effectively your cost for trading that market. We keep all our spreads consistently low, to give you lasting value.
Lower your costs with Tradeback™
If you are a professional trader, you can cut your costs still further with Intertrader’s unique volume discount programme, TradeBack. As long as you have paid a combined spread cost during the month of over £500, regardless of how much you have earned from your positions, you will receive an automatic rebate.
Please note that TradeBack is only available for professional clients. Find out more about TradeBack.
Safety of your funds
Trade with confidence knowing your funds are secure. All your deposits are protected up to €1 million by our client funds insurance. Any funds you deposit with Intertrader, and all profits you make, are handled responsibly and securely. As a customer of an authorised financial services company, you are given access to the Gibraltar Investor Compensation Scheme (GICS).
In the very unlikely event that Intertrader becomes unable to meet its financial obligations you are entitled to make a claim from the GICS, which specifically covers retail customer deposits, to recover up to €20,000.
Your funds are insured
Over and above the €20,000 protection per client offered by the GICS, we have insured all our client funds individually up to €1 million with Lloyd’s of London. We have purchased this insurance for your protection, and it is at no cost to you.
Were we to become insolvent, with a deficiency in our client money bank accounts, your funds would be repaid to a maximum of €1 million under the terms of this insurance policy.
Our regulator
Intertrader is a trading name of Alvar Financial Services Limited which is authorised by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) and subject to limited regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority. Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available from us on request.
A secure provider
The segregation of client money from the firm’s money does not protect the client if the bank that holds the client money bank account goes into administration. This is where your funds would be repaid up to €20,000 under the GICS, or up to €1 million by our insurance with Lloyd’s of London.
We conduct daily financial reconciliations to ensure that we have adequate regulatory capital at all times. At the end of each trading day our segregated fund accounts are rebalanced to ensure that all clients’ available funds, as at midnight that day, are fully segregated.
