Quick summary

New users who complete identity verification may qualify for 100 ZARC without making a deposit. ZARC is a stablecoin pegged to the South African rand, so its value in U.S. dollars changes with the exchange rate.

The reward can be used as trading capital, but it can't be withdrawn right away. The promotion sets a minimum withdrawal of 101 ZARC, so you'll need to make a profit or add funds to reach that amount. You must also meet the platform's standard withdrawal requirements.

Many no-deposit bonuses are paid in U.S. dollars by forex platforms. TD Markets' offer is different: it pays in ZARC and is promoted through a crypto platform that offers derivatives, spot trading, and other digital asset services.

This reward can let you try the platform without depositing your own money first. However, crypto derivatives can involve significant risk, so read the terms before trading.

TD Markets offer at a glance

Details are based on TD Markets' promotion page and terms. The offer and its conditions may change.

What is ZARC?

ZARC is a stablecoin designed to track the South African rand. One ZARC is intended to equal about R1, making 100 ZARC worth approximately R100. Its value in U.S. dollars depends on the USD/ZAR exchange rate, so the reward is often described as worth about $5 to $6 rather than a fixed dollar amount.

TD Markets also promotes other uses for ZARC, including spending through TD Markets Pay, earning a published yield through its Earn feature, and exchanging assets through Quick Trade.

Why the dollar value varies: Since ZARC is pegged to the rand, its U.S. dollar value changes when the USD/ZAR exchange rate moves.

How to claim the 100 ZARC reward

1. Create an account

Register for a new account on the TD Markets platform. You can access it on the web or through the TDM Exchange app on iOS and Google Play. Enter your legal name and address as they appear on your documents.

2. Complete identity verification

Submit a valid form of identification and proof of address to complete the required Know Your Customer (KYC) check. The reward is intended for new users who pass verification.

3. Receive and activate the reward

TD Markets' promotion terms say the 100 ZARC reward is credited within 24 hours after KYC approval. However, the promotion summary also describes the credit as instant. The terms refer to using the reward on your first trade to activate your account.

Because the timing and activation details may vary, check the current promotion terms on TD Markets' website before signing up.

Key terms and withdrawal rules

Eligibility

The offer is for new clients who pass identity verification. Each verified user can receive one welcome reward.

Trading and transfer restrictions

You can use the 100 ZARC as capital for live derivatives trading, but you can't withdraw it immediately. The promotion also prohibits transferring the reward between accounts before you meet the withdrawal requirements.

Minimum withdrawal is 101 ZARC

The minimum withdrawal amount is 101 ZARC, which is higher than the 100 ZARC reward. You'll need to increase your balance through trading profits or add your own funds. Standard withdrawal conditions and any applicable fees still apply.

These examples illustrate the 101 ZARC minimum. Other withdrawal rules and fees may apply.

Misuse and multiple accounts

TD Markets may withhold, reverse, or cancel rewards if it finds multiple accounts, promotion abuse, artificial trading, or fraud. The terms specifically prohibit wash trading and collusive trading.

TD Markets Performance League

The welcome reward was offered alongside the TD Markets Performance League. A first qualifying derivatives trade entered the user into the competition, where rankings were based on realized profit and loss.

For the April to May edition, the top five traders shared a prize pool of R50,000, paid in the equivalent value of ZARC.

These prizes come from TD Markets' April promotion terms. Check the official website for details of any later competition.

Is the TD Markets offer still available?

The promotion terms reviewed for this guide covered April 16, through May 16. TD Markets may renew or relaunch the promotion, but the reward amount, eligibility rules, and dates can change. Check the official site to confirm that the offer is active and review the latest terms before registering.

Pros and cons

Who may find this offer useful?

• South African traders who want to try a local crypto platform using rand-based funds.
• Beginners who want to learn how derivatives trading works without depositing at the outset.
• Traders interested in leaderboard competitions when one is available.

The reward is better suited to trying the platform than to earning a substantial cash payout.
