Guides
Straight answers, at length.
The questions partners actually ask me — answered properly rather than in a sentence. How the model works, what it pays, what it costs, and what separates the partners who build something.
- How do forex IB partnerships work?An IB (introducing broker) refers traders to a broker and earns from the trading activity of the clients they bring — typically as a rebate per lot traded. You bring the audience; the broker handles accounts, platforms and payouts. I help partners set up the deal, track every referral, and support the growth side too — from events on the ground to online ad campaigns.
- How much can a partner earn per referred client?It depends on your rebate rate and how actively your clients trade — partners here earn up to $12 per lot, and some clients trade serious volume, which changes the math quickly. Rebates also aren't the only stream: depending on your activity there are additional ways to earn, from campaign funding to performance-based payments. Use the rebate calculator to run your own numbers.
- What makes a good introducing broker?An audience that trusts you, consistency, and genuine care for your clients. The partners who grow fastest aren't the biggest — they're educators, creators and community leaders who show up for their people, check in after the referral, and treat clients as relationships, not one-off links.
- How fast are payouts?Daily. Rebates are calculated on trading activity and paid out on time — no waiting until month-end.
- Do I need a big audience to become a partner?No. A small, engaged community outperforms a large passive one. Some of my strongest partners started with a WhatsApp group or a classroom of students. If people act on your word, you have enough.
- What's the difference between rebates and CPA deals?A rebate pays you continuously from your clients' trading volume; CPA pays a once-off fee per funded client. Rebates build recurring income that compounds as your book grows — that's the model I run, because it aligns everyone long-term.
- How do I become an introducing broker?Apply — it takes two minutes and costs nothing. We'll talk about your audience and goals on a short call, agree your rebate deal, and you'll get a tracking link so every referral is counted from day one. Most partners are approved within 48 hours.
- Does being an IB cost anything?No. There's no fee to join, no monthly cost, and no revenue share taken from you — the broker pays the partnership out of its own economics, not your clients' pockets.
- Can I be a partner if I'm outside South Africa?Yes — I work with partners globally. Right now that includes South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ghana, Namibia, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Thailand and Canada, to name a few. If you have an audience of traders, borders aren't the issue — and I travel. Name your city.
- How do I track my referrals and earnings?Daily. Every client you refer is tagged to you from signup, and your registrations, funded accounts and rebates update every day — no waiting for a month-end statement and no taking anyone's word for it.
