I contacted Raku Ranger yesterday to ask whether a commitment fee is payable for the RakuMargin facility if it is not utilised. The reply which I received was "The interest fees only will be charged on your outstanding transactions at 6.8% per annum".
I take this to mean that Rakuten is not charging any commitment fee.
Lai, lai, who wants to become the white rat and sign the Letter of Offer? Please inform the forumers here if they start charging you any fees for not using the margin facilities.

i reviewed the T&C papers again and i still couldn't find any to show how and when and rates that they will charge the Commitment fees..... i also notice the can waive it.... i guess it is not a mandatory fees....
anyway drawdown must be within 3 months.... else they will cancel the facility... i suppose to let them cancel it rather to charge commitment fees.
i have accepted it cos my offer is expiring tomorrow. but i still no plan to use it anytime soon.... i still have balance with other margin accounts.
i will cancel it as soon as they charge me commitment fees..... but..... i have no idea how to cancel it..... i can;t find any support number or bot to throw my question. How u manage to communicate with Rakuten? any careline, email, bot chat?
