Pricing Structure and Account Set-Up
Base Markets said its pricing philosophy focuses on the fees clients actually pay, how their trades are executed and whether their funds can be withdrawn. The company disclosed the following forex commission structure:
Forex trades are charged a commission of US$2 per side, equivalent to US$4 per standard lot round trip, starting from the first trade.
The company said this rate is not subject to rebates or volume-based tiers.
The company stated that some raw-spread accounts charge approximately US$7 per round trip before returning part of the cost through rebates and volume-based tiers. Base Markets has instead chosen to apply what it describes as a competitive rate from the outset. Commenting on its pricing philosophy, the company’s management stated:
A broker should be able to build a good business without relying on poor client outcomes. We are not trying to become the loudest broker in the market, but to build one with transparent pricing, honest execution and a readiness to return clients’ funds whenever requested.
