ATFX Welcome Bonus South Africa: 100% Deposit Credit up to R90,000

ATFX runs this promotion through AT Global Markets SA (Pty) Ltd, its South African entity, licensed by the FSCA as an OTC derivatives provider (FSP 44816). From 1 August 2025 to 30 December 2026, each qualifying deposit into an MT5 Standard account earns a credit bonus equal to 100% of the deposit, capped at ZAR 90,000 or USD 5,000 across the whole promotion. You opt in by clicking Join in the ATFX client portal, and the credit usually lands within one working day. The offer is not listed on ATFX's public promotions page, so the official terms PDF is the source for everything here.

The credit is margin, not cash. To turn it into withdrawable balance you must trade 1 standard lot round trip per USD 100 of credit received (the terms put it as 1% of the credit in USD, or 0.055% of the credit in ZAR, which is about 1 lot per R1,800), and at least 4 round-turn lots in total. A USD 1,000 credit therefore needs 10 lots, which is 1,000,000 units of base currency. Clause 5.3 of the same terms is worded as 4 lots per USD 100, four times higher. ATFX's own worked examples use the lower rate, but confirm with support in writing before you rely on it. Only forex, precious metals, commodities, indices and futures count; crypto CFDs and share CFDs do not. Once the lots are done, the credit converts to balance within about 7 working days.

The traps are strict. Any withdrawal or internal transfer before you finish the lots cancels the whole credit, which can push open positions into a stop out. If losses take your equity below the credit amount, which means your own deposit is already gone, the credit is removed automatically. All credit is forfeited 180 days after you click Join. Trades held 2 minutes or less, hedging across accounts, grid or martingale systems and abusive EAs are banned, and ATFX can reverse profits. Only one account per person and per IP address qualifies, joint, demo and corporate accounts are excluded, and the offer cannot be combined with other ATFX promotions except the Africa prop trading and refer a friend programs. The terms say residents of South Africa, other African countries and elsewhere may join, funding in ZAR (South Africa) or USD, but the offer belongs to the South African entity, so we list it for South Africa only. ATFX also runs a newer ATFX Africa brand that onboards clients through a different entity (AT Global Capital Markets Africa, FSP 55142, acting for the Mauritius-regulated AT Global Markets Intl Ltd), so check which entity your account sits with before you deposit.
