However, we’ve put this article together in order to address the key information concerning you, the exchange users.

Shocking news for the working man.

Commission Structure & Credit?
This story has caused a bit of a stir. In recent years Matchbook have been aggressively promoting their exchange with low commission deals, sometimes as low as 0%.
On the other hand, consistent winners have been slapped with a very high commission rate of 60%, applicable after $20,000 profit. However, recent news from the Independent.ie newsreel shows some customers are allowed mind-boggling credit limits.
From an objective point of view, it seems pretty unfair.
It’ll be interesting to see how this story progresses, and if Matchbook revises their commission rates when they return. If they return.
