The key distinction between the two programs is the payment structure. Affiliates typically receive a cost per acquisition (CPA), meaning a one-time payment is received for each new client introduced, whereas IBs receive ongoing payment as the client’s trade volume increases.¹

Here are the eligibility criteria:

As a client reaches specific goals on their journey, you would receive the allocated commission within the commission structure, according to the country the said client registered from. The commission amount varies from USD 300 to USD 800 per referral depending on their designated country group. At Pepperstone, we always try to offer commission-increase opportunities for top performers and we are open to custom deals.
