How to Change Your XM Partner Code If You Already Have an Account
Short answer: XM does not allow the partner code on an existing trading account to be edited or replaced. The way every XM client does it is to add a new trading account from the Members Area or the XM app and enter official XM partner code CBT90 while creating it. It takes about five minutes, your existing account keeps working exactly as before, and the new account earns cashback — $9 per lot on Gold (Standard) — from its first trade.
Can you change the partner code on an existing XM account?
No. A partner (IB) code is attached to a trading account at the moment the account is created. XM's Members Area has no field to edit it afterwards, and XM support does not move an already-open account from one partner to another on request. That is why every "how to change XM IB" guide ends the same way: you open an additional account.
This is not a limitation of CashBackXM — it is how XM's partner system works for everyone. The good news is that XM lets one client hold several trading accounts under the same login, so "changing" the code simply means adding an account that has the right code.
Step by step: add an XM account with partner code CBT90
- Log in to the XM Members Area on the web, or open the XM app.
- Go to your accounts list and choose "+ Add Account" (in the app it is under the Accounts menu).
- Pick the platform and account type you want — Standard pays the highest cashback rates; Ultra Low has tighter spreads and lower rates (see the comparison below).
- Find the Partner Code field. Tap "Enter here" if it is collapsed, type CBT90 and confirm.
- Finish the form. The new account appears next to your existing ones and uses the same verified profile — no new KYC.
- Transfer funds to the new account from your MyWallet or an existing account, and trade on it. Cashback on every closed order is credited to your MyWallet the next day.

What happens to your old account?
- It is not affected. Open positions, balance, bonus credit and history stay exactly where they are.
- It does not earn cashback. Only trades on the account created under CBT90 generate the partner commission that funds the cashback.
- You can keep using both. Many traders leave long-term positions on the old account and route new activity through the CBT90 account.
- Moving money is free inside XM. Internal transfers between your own accounts go through the Members Area; check XM's rules on transferring accounts that hold a bonus, as bonus credit does not travel with the funds.
Why traders switch partner codes in the first place
Usually one of three reasons: the account was opened without any code (so nobody is paying the trader anything back), it was opened under a code from a signal group or friend that never returned anything, or it sits with a rebate service that pays vague percentages instead of a fixed amount. CashBackXM publishes a fixed rate per lot for every instrument — for example $9 on Gold, $10.60 on BTCUSD, $4.80–$6.90 on the major Forex pairs on a Standard account — and XM credits it to your own MyWallet, so there is nothing to chase.
Which account type should the new account be?
| Standard | Ultra Low | |
|---|---|---|
| Gold cashback per lot | $9.00 (GOLD) | $3.70 (GOLD#) |
| EURUSD cashback per lot | $4.80 | $1.80 |
| BTCUSD cashback per lot | $10.60 | $4.20 |
| Commission charged by XM | None (spread only) | None (spread only, tighter) |
| Best for | Traders who want the largest cashback per lot | Scalpers who value the narrowest spread |

Common mistakes when changing the code
- Typing the code in the wrong field. The partner code goes in the Partner Code field during account creation — not in a promo or bonus code box.
- Expecting the old account to start paying. It will not; cashback follows the account, not the login.
- Opening the new account under a different XM entity. If you are asked to choose a regulator/entity, keep the same one as your existing account so funds can be transferred internally.
- Assuming a written request to XM will do it. XM support will point you to "+ Add Account" as well.

Changing your XM partner code — questions traders ask
Can XM support change the partner code on my existing account?
No. XM attaches the partner code when a trading account is created and does not edit or transfer it afterwards. The standard route is to add a new trading account under the code you want from the Members Area or app.
Do I need to verify my identity again for the new account?
No. Additional accounts sit under your existing verified XM profile, so there is no new KYC. You only choose the platform and account type and enter the partner code.
Will cashback apply to trades on my old account?
No. Cashback comes from the partner commission generated by the account registered under CBT90. Trades on accounts opened without the code, or under another code, do not generate it.
Can I move my balance to the new CBT90 account?
Yes, through internal transfer in the XM Members Area. If the old account holds bonus credit, check XM's transfer rules first — bonus credit does not move with the funds.
How soon does cashback start on the new account?
From the first closed order. Cashback is calculated when each order closes and credited to your XM MyWallet the following day, from 0.01 lot, with no minimum and no cap.
