TL;DR — The highest per-lot cashback on Expaid right now comes from CXM (up to $12.35 per forex lot and $13.98 per gold lot), with FPG and Interstellar strong on gold, and Exness and XM the easiest low-deposit accounts to start. The "best" rebate broker depends on what you trade, how much you can deposit, and whether you want to keep an existing account. Below we compare the regulated brokers on Expaid and name a winner for each type of trader.
What a forex & gold cashback rebate really is
A cashback rebate is a fixed amount of money returned to you for every lot you trade — paid whether the trade wins or loses. When you link your MT4/MT5 account to Expaid, we act as an introducing broker (IB) and return most of the broker's commission to you as a per-lot rebate, credited daily straight into your trading account. Your spreads, execution and leverage stay exactly the same, and joining is free. Over a year of active trading, rebates can add up to a meaningful cut of your trading costs — which is why choosing the broker with the best rate for your style matters.

Highest forex rebate: CXM
CXM leads on raw forex cashback at up to $12.35 per standard lot, with Interstellar at $9.00 and Versus at $6.60. For a scalper or high-frequency trader running dozens of forex lots a week, that gap compounds quickly. CXM also supports linking an existing account and pays daily, so you can switch on cashback without changing how you trade.
Highest gold (XAUUSD) rebate: CXM
Gold traders should look first at CXM (up to $13.98 per XAUUSD lot), then FPG ($9.60) and Interstellar ($9.00). Gold rebates are typically higher than forex because gold's commission and spread structure is richer — so if XAUUSD is your main instrument, the broker you choose matters even more than it does for majors.
Lowest barrier to start: XM
If you are starting small, XM starts at just $5, and Exness at $10 — both let you link an existing account and start earning right away. The higher-rebate brokers like CXM suit traders who already run more volume.
Best for keeping your existing account
Every active broker on Expaid lets you move an existing account under our IB link, so you keep your funds, spreads and open positions and simply start earning cashback. If you already trade somewhere, check that broker's page for the exact transfer steps.
In our view — chase the headline rate only after you have matched the broker to your instrument and account size. A $13.98 gold rebate is worth nothing if you mostly trade EUR/USD, and the highest forex rate matters little if you cannot open the account. Pick the broker that fits how you actually trade, then let the rebate quietly lower your cost on every lot.
How to choose the right rebate broker for you
- Trade mostly forex majors? Prioritise the forex rate — CXM leads, Interstellar next.
- Trade gold (XAUUSD)? CXM pays the most per gold lot, with FPG second.
- Starting with a small balance? XM ($5) or Exness ($10) get you in cheaply.
- Already have an account? Every active broker supports existing-account transfers.
- Want to see your numbers first? Use the cashback calculator with your broker and monthly lot count.
