Commissions structure
Exchange fee
Once you create an account on The Change, your entire order volume is recorded and calculated on a monthly basis. Account levels and associated fees vary based on trade volume. This means that when you reach your monthly volume requirements, you upgrade to a higher tier and reduce your exchange fees.
Account Levels and Fee Structure
The exchange fee ranges from 0.4% to 0.2%, depending on your level.
Your level is determined based on trading volume, which is evaluated monthly.
The relationship between fees, levels, and volume is shown in the fee structure table.
At 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month, your volume is reset. However, your account level can be retained. The level corresponding to your volume from the previous month will be your starting and minimum level for the new month.
During the this month, if you meet the volume requirements to move to a higher level, the upgrade will happen immediately. If not, you will keep your starting level until the end of the current month. In the next month, you will either keep it or be downgraded — depending on which trading volume requirement you met.
All of the above applies only to orders placed after logging into your account. For guest exchanges, zero level applies and volume metrics do not change.
