Empire Trade - News and Events

News & Events




Add value to your membership and make your trading more cost effective!

As a thank you for putting a direct debit authority in place for payment of your monthly fees, Empire Trade offers you a reduction on your monthly Administration fee.

Contact your Agent, or Member Support at Head Office to see how much you can save each month and to request a Direct Debit Authority form. And an added benefit is you no longer have to remember when it is time to pay fees - no more cheques to write or postage stamps to find - no phone calls required.

Club Membership
Membership of the Empire Trade Clubs now also has extra value. Not only will you benefit from locking in the trade percentage you will receive from other Club members, you can benefit from a reduced monthly Administration Fee.

Join the 50% Plus Club and your monthly administration fee reduces by 50%.

Join the Gold Club and you are exempt from paying the monthly administration fee altogether.

This additional Club membership benefit is valid for as long as you remain an active club member.

Joining either Club is simple: Check that you can meet the criteria below, then log onto the member's secure site using your username and password and select the Club you wish to join. You can apply online, download a form (Gold - 50% plus), or request an application form from your regional agent, or from head office.

  • be an Empire Trade member of good standing with a consistent trading history
  • offer a broadly in-demand product or service at a minimum 50% trade component at market value to members of the 50% Plus Club and to members of the Gold Club. (This must be on your general product range, not selective items only, and will be randomly monitored).
