An HFM IB transfer is what stands between you and your HFM trading rebate, and at its core the process comes down to three steps:
- Transfer or add your HFM partner using the Backcom.io details.
- Open a new trading account that sits under the correct partner after the transfer.
- Verify the link and start trading so the system begins recording your rebates.
This guide from Backcom.io walks you through how to transfer your HFM IB in detail, how to check the link went through, and what to watch out for so you don’t trade on an account that earns you nothing.
First, it helps to understand what an HFM IB transfer actually is and how changing partners affects your trading account.
What Is an HFM IB Transfer?
An HFM IB transfer means changing the partner or Introducing Broker attached to your HFM account to a different one. The IB introduces clients to HFM and can earn commission based on the trading activity of the clients they refer.
If you want to receive rebates through Backcom.io, your trading account has to be correctly linked to the Backcom partner. Once it is, part of the partner commission that Backcom receives from HFM can be shared back with you under the rebate policy in force.
What role does an HFM IB or partner play?
An IB (Introducing Broker) is the intermediary that introduces traders to HFM. According to HFM, each partner has their own referral code (Ref-ID) that the system uses to identify clients and record the commission generated by their trading.

That makes having your account linked to the right IB the deciding factor in whether your trades get recorded by the rebate system at all.
Does an HFM IB transfer affect your trading account?
Fundamentally, changing your HFM IB changes the referral relationship — not the way you place orders on the HFM platform.
You keep trading directly with HFM as usual. There are a few things worth flagging, though:
- Your existing trading account (MT5/MT4, for example) may still belong to the previous IB.
- After changing your HFM partner, you may need to open a new trading account under the new IB.
- Only start trading for rebates once you have confirmed the account is linked correctly.
So before you go through how to transfer your HFM IB, work out which partner your current account sits under and whether your situation calls for a new trading account.
When Should You Change Your HFM Partner?
You should change your HFM partner when your current account isn’t linked to an IB with a suitable rebate policy, or when it already sits under someone else.
The two most common cases:
You want trading rebates from a new partner
If you already trade with HFM but receive no rebates, it’s worth considering an HFM IB transfer to a partner that runs an HFM rebate program.
Once you are correctly linked with Backcom.io:
- Eligible trades at HFM get recorded by the system.
- The partner commission generated by those trades is reconciled.
- Part of that commission is returned to you under the applicable policy.
Transferring your IB suits traders who want to claw back part of their trading costs — the HFM trading rebate arrives without changing how you normally place orders at HFM.
Your account is already linked to another IB
If your HFM account already belongs to a different IB, trades placed on that account will normally be credited to the current partner.
Don’t keep trading with rebates in mind until you have confirmed the account has been reassigned to the new IB.
Be aware that some IBs run misleading schemes — they promise to return 100% of the commission they receive, but when the payout arrives it turns out to be only around 40–50% of it.
That is exactly why choosing a reputable IB/partner such as Backcom.io for your HFM trading rebates matters so much.
HFM IB Transfer Requirements You Should Know
To complete an HFM IB transfer and receive your HFM trading rebate, your account has to be recorded by HFM under the new partner. Whether a transfer or an additional partner is possible varies with your account status and with HFM’s policy at the time you apply.
Which HFM accounts can change partner?
Don’t assume every existing HFM account can change its IB directly.

The critical point is to confirm the link before you trade, because only accounts properly recorded under the new partner can be reconciled for the rebate program.
Do you need to open a new HFM trading account?
You might, but not every case requires rebuilding your entire HFM setup.
HFM distinguishes between:
- myHF: the main client area used for deposits, withdrawals, transfers and creating trading accounts.
- Trading account: the live account created inside myHF that you actually trade on.
So when you change your HFM partner, you can usually keep your existing myHF account but will need to create a new trading account under the correct new IB.
How to Transfer Your HFM IB and Claim Your Rebates
If you already have an HFM account, you can complete the HFM IB transfer to Backcom.io straight from the HFM app. Once the link succeeds, create a new trading account under the correct partner so your HFM trading rebate starts being recorded.
Step 1: Register and get the Backcom.io partner details
Before you start, make sure you have the correct Backcom.io partner details to link with HFM.
Backcom.io HFM partner code: 30513100
Save this code so you enter it exactly in the HFM app. Using the correct partner code is what allows HFM to record your account under the Backcom.io IB.
Step 2: Transfer or add the partner in HFM

In the HFM App, follow these steps:
- Log in to your HFM account.
- Go to Set Partner & Campaign ID.
- Enter partner code 30513100.
- Double-check the details and hit confirm.
Once HFM processes the request, your client area will be recorded under the new partner subject to HFM’s applicable conditions.
Note: Don’t start trading for rebates the moment you enter the code. Check that the link has fully gone through first.
Step 3: Create a trading account under the new partner
Once you have successfully changed your HFM partner:
- Contact Backcom.io to confirm your account has been recorded under the right IB.
- Once the link is confirmed, log in to HFM.
- Create a new trading account (MT5/MT4, for example).
- Fund it and trade on this new account.
The whole HFM IB transfer boils down to this:
HFM App → Set Partner & Campaign ID → Enter 30513100 → Confirm → Check the link → Create a new trading account → Trade and earn rebates
You can watch the full walkthrough of the transfer process in the video below.
When do trades start counting towards rebates?
Your trades start being recorded for rebates when:
- Your HFM account is correctly linked to the Backcom.io partner.
- You trade on the new trading account created after the IB transfer succeeded.
- The instrument and account type fall within the rebate program.
HFM rebates at Backcom.io are reconciled and paid out daily, with the rate depending on the instrument and the type of trading account. (Full details here)
If you trade before the link is confirmed, or keep using an account still tied to the old IB, those orders may not count towards the HFM trading rebate program.
What to Do If the HFM IB Transfer Won’t Go Through
Sometimes a request to change your HFM IB isn’t processed straight away, or the account still shows the old partner. When that happens, resist the urge to keep resubmitting — find the cause first.
Common causes
Here are the situations that most often stop a partner transfer from completing.
- Transfer time limit. Under the HF Markets (SV) affiliate terms, affiliation transfers can only be made once every 3 days. Requests submitted inside that waiting period may simply not be processed.
- Account not eligible to switch. Your account may fall into an ineligible category — for instance if you have open trades, an Affiliate External Transfer (AET) rebate is still pending, or the current partner is excluded from the affiliation transfer function.
- Request still pending. After you submit the request, the partner status may not update straight away because HFM is still processing it.
- Special account status. Older, archived or restored accounts may need HFM support to reassign the Ref-ID manually.

So if your HFM IB transfer won’t complete, avoid retrying repeatedly until you know the specific reason.
What to do when the account still sits under the old IB
If the partner status hasn’t changed, work through this in order:
- Check when you last transferred your IB to be sure you aren’t inside a restriction window.
- Contact HFM support and ask them to check the affiliation/Partner ID status on your account.
- Provide the account details they need so HFM can identify why the request wasn’t processed.
- Only once HFM confirms the change has gone through should you continue with the steps to join the HFM trading rebate program.
HFM currently offers Live Support along with dedicated channels for account, partner and Introducing Broker issues.
If HFM confirms your account is not eligible to change partner, contact Backcom.io for guidance suited to your account’s situation rather than opening multiple accounts or resubmitting transfer requests.
Summary
To receive your HFM trading rebate through Backcom.io, your account must be correctly linked to the Backcom IB and you must trade on the right account after the partner transfer.
If you hit an error while changing your HFM partner, or the account still belongs to the old IB, check the status with HFM or contact Backcom.io for support before you carry on trading.
Getting it right from the start means every eligible trade is recorded accurately and no HFM trading rebate slips through the cracks.
Frequently Asked Questions About HFM IB Transfers (FAQ)
Can you transfer your HFM IB more than once?
Yes, though an HFM IB transfer is subject to the conditions and limits HFM applies at any given time. If you changed partner recently, you may have to wait before submitting a new request.
Does transferring your HFM IB cost anything?
Normally not — changing your HFM IB isn’t a deposit or withdrawal, so there is no transfer fee. Still, check HFM’s current policy if your account falls into a special category.
How long does an HFM partner transfer take?
Processing time varies with your account status and HFM’s verification process. After submitting the request, check the link status before you start trading for HFM rebates.
Can an existing HFM account still earn rebates?
Yes. If you already have an HFM account you can still join the HFM trading rebate program, provided you meet the conditions for transferring or adding a partner and the account is correctly linked to Backcom.io.
Once the link succeeds, make sure you trade on the account recorded under the new IB so your eligible orders count towards your rebates.
