Pepperstone Partners - Introducing Broker (IB) Program FAQs

IB stands for Introducing Broker and they receive commissions based on the volume traded by their clients.

The main difference from the CPA (Affiliate program) is that in general, IBs interact with their clients, provide a service, and receive a volume based, on-going rebate. Affiliates receive a one-off payment (CPA) for every client they refer and hit each of the goals we pay for.

It depends on the method you'll use to refer clients. If you provide your clients with any interactive services, then the IB program would be best for you. On the other hand, the CPA/Affiliate program is suitable for digital marketers who rely mostly on click tracking to source their referrals. Ideally, there would be no services or relationship shared with your leads.

IBs can be rebate providers, social influencers and comparison website owners to name a few. They could also offer resources such as trading tools, market information, trading schools or coaching, indicators, VPS, seminars/webinars, technology providers, signals, trade copiers and EAs.
