FAQ
Partner program questions
What is an Introducing Broker (IB)?
An Introducing Broker refers clients to a broker and earns a commission linked to those clients' trading activity. The broker handles account opening, execution, payments and client support.
What is the difference between an IB and an affiliate?
IBs usually build an ongoing relationship with the clients they refer and are rewarded on their trading. Affiliates typically promote the broker online through websites, content or social media and are rewarded for qualified referrals.
How is partner commission calculated?
Commission structures (for example a rebate per traded lot or a revenue share) are agreed individually with each partner, based on the partnership type and the clients referred. Contact the partnerships team for the current terms.
Do I need a licence to become a partner?
It depends on where you and your audience are. Some countries require a licence or registration to promote financial products or to act as an introducer. You are responsible for complying with your local rules.
What rules apply to my promotions?
Promotions must be fair and not misleading, must include a clear risk warning, must never promise profits or guaranteed returns, and must not target countries where our services are not offered.
