About BasisBack and how we make money

BasisBack is a fee-rebate service for crypto derivatives traders, run by a small independent team. We are not an exchange, a broker, a fund or an investment adviser, and we never hold customer funds.

How we are paid

When you open an exchange account through our referral link, the exchange pays us a referral commission out of the trading fees you pay. We send you 50% of that commission in USDT every month. The other half pays for running the service. Each exchange page shows exactly what that means as a share of your fees.

Our conflicts of interest — stated plainly

• We earn more when you trade more. That is why we repeat, everywhere, that trading more to collect rebates loses money.
• Links to exchanges are referral links. We are paid by those exchanges; we are not paid to rank one above another, and the comparison table sorts on fixed rules.
• We do not accept payment for articles or reviews.

What we never do

• Ask for API keys, passwords, 2FA codes or seed phrases — only your public UID.
• Hold your money or trade on your behalf.
• Promise profit, give personal investment advice, or tell you what to buy or sell.
• Offer remote-desktop "support".

How we write

Some drafts are prepared with the help of AI. Every article is checked against our rules (no profit promises, no "50% of fees" wording, worked numbers that add up) and approved by a person before it is published. If you find an error, write to us and we will correct it and note the correction.
