FCM Fees

FCM Fees

Funding your account at Edge Clear often requires wiring funds to your segregated account at the FCM.

Though most FCMs do not charge a fee for the transfer of funds into an account, they may charge a fee for the transfer of funds out of the account. The fees that an FCM may charge vary from firm to firm. Please see the list of Edge Clear's FCM partner's fees below.
