GivTrade Account Types: Classic vs. VIP vs. Swap-Free Compared

Choosing the right account is one of the biggest decisions a new GivTrade client makes, since it directly determines trading costs, minimum capital required, and execution model. GivTrade (givtrade.com) offers three account types: Classic, VIP, and Swap-Free. Here is how they compare.

Quick answer: Classic suits beginners with a $100 minimum deposit, zero commission, and spreads from 1.2 pips. VIP suits active traders with a $2,000 minimum, tighter raw spreads, and a $3 per side per lot commission. Swap-Free is not a standalone account — it’s an interest-free conversion available on either Classic or VIP.

Classic Account: Built for Simplicity

The Classic account is GivTrade’s entry-level offering, aimed at traders who want predictable, all-in pricing without tracking a separate commission line.

Feature | Detail 

Because costs are built into the spread rather than charged separately, Classic works well for swing traders, part-time traders, and anyone running an expert advisor (EA) who wants one clean cost figure per trade.

VIP Account: Built for Volume

The VIP account targets frequent and professional-style traders who care most about tight raw spreads and are comfortable paying a transparent per-lot commission.

Feature | Detail

 Minimum deposit | $2,000

Spreads | Ultra-low (raw/near-raw pricing)

Commission | $3 per side, per 1 lot

Minimum lot size | 0.01

Execution type | Market execution, no dealing desk

Market execution means VIP orders go straight to the liquidity pool without desk intervention, which typically means faster fills and fewer requotes during news events — a meaningful factor for scalpers and high-frequency strategies.

Swap-Free: An Add-On, Not a Separate Tier

Swap-Free is not its own account category with independent pricing — it’s a feature you can apply to a Classic or VIP account.

| Feature | Detail |

| Available on | Any account type (Classic or VIP) |

| Spreads/execution | Identical to the underlying account |

| Activation time | Within one business day |

| Overnight charges | May still apply to certain instruments |

This structure is worth understanding clearly: converting to Swap-Free does not change your spread or execution quality — it only removes standard overnight swap interest, while certain instruments (commonly precious metals or specific indices) may still carry a separate overnight fee in place of swap.

Which GivTrade Account Should You Choose?

-New to trading or trading small volumes: Classic. Lower barrier to entry at $100, no commission tracking.

Trading frequently or in larger lot sizes: VIP. The $3/side/lot commission is usually offset by materially tighter spreads once volume increases.

Religious or personal reasons for avoiding interest, or holding trades overnight: Add Swap-Free to either account.

Cost Comparison Example

On a 1-lot trade, a Classic account cost is embedded in the spread (from 1.2 pips), while a VIP account costs $3 per side ($6 round-trip) plus a much narrower spread. For traders doing high lot volume, VIP’s flat per-lot fee combined with tighter spreads generally produces a lower total cost per trade — but the $2,000 minimum deposit is the trade-off.

GivTrade Regulatory Snapshot

Regardless of account type, all GivTrade.com clients trade under the same regulated entity: GivTrade Mauritius, registration No. 197387, licensed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius under License No. GB22201329, registered at C/o Credentia International Management Ltd, The Cyberati Lounge, Ground Floor, The Catalyst, Silicon Avenue, 40 Cybercity, 72201, Ebene, Republic of Mauritius. This is an offshore license; it does not carry the same protections as a tier-1 regulator such as the FCA or ASIC, so independent verification on the FSC register is recommended before funding an account.
