GCM’s forex account is a leveraged trading account offered by GCM Yatırım Menkul Değerler A.Ş. Its Borsa and VİOP services have separate instruments, costs and payment limits. The distinction matters when comparing a forex price with a securities tariff.[11][6]

Trading and account charges
Sections ↑Periodic-charge disclosures that disagree
| Document | Amount | Stated frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated 2026 maintenance page | TRY 700 / USD 15 / EUR 15 per account | Three-month periodSource 5 |
| General fee tariff: maintenance | TRY 75 | MonthlySource 4 |
| Dedicated inactivity page | TRY 700 / USD 15 / EUR 15 | Monthly accrualSource 9 |
| General fee tariff: inactivity | TRY 700 / USD 15 / EUR 15 | Every three monthsSource 4 |
The pages do not establish one reconciled account-charge schedule. A written account-specific confirmation is needed before budgeting these charges; the inactivity page’s option to batch collections does not turn its monthly accrual into a quarterly fee.[5][4][9]

Securities and VİOP pass-through rates
The pass-through rates exclude BSMV and are distinct from brokerage commission. The tariff also gives a TRY 5 minimum daily securities/VİOP commission and a 15% deduction from gross cash-interest earnings.[4]
