Yes. Operations span 150+ countries, and your IB agreement is not limited to one region. Many IBs utilize localized landing pages and tracking links for multi-market referrals.

There is no minimum. You can start with one referral and scale from there. However, most successful IBs build a base of 10–20 active traders before expanding into sub-IB recruitment.

A ThinkMarkets Affiliate earns a fixed one-time CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) payment of up to $1,200 for every client they refer who registers and funds a live account. A ThinkMarkets IB (Introducing Broker) earns recurring per-lot commissions — up to $12 per standard lot — for as long as their referred clients remain active and trade. The IB model generates compounding, long-term income as your client base grows; the affiliate model offers high upfront payouts per conversion.

No. Joining the ThinkPartners program - whether as an IB, Affiliate, Money Manager, or Influencer - is completely free. There are no setup fees, subscription charges, or hidden costs.

No. A website is not required to join the ThinkPartners program. You can refer clients through direct introductions, social media channels, Telegram groups, YouTube, networking events, or any other promotional method. As long as you use your unique tracking link, all referrals are accurately attributed to your account.

Once your registration is complete, you can immediately start using your referral link to refer clients and accumulate commissions. However, to withdraw your earned commissions, your account must be fully approved by submitting the following KYC documents:

Proof of Identity (POI) - valid passport, national identity card, or driver's licence

Proof of Residence (POR) - utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 6 months

For corporate partners -a standard set of corporate documents

Clients register by clicking your unique ThinkPartners referral link. They are automatically linked to your partner ID upon completing registration. Once they verify their account and make their first deposit, all of their trading activity begins generating commissions for you.

Clients can begin the registration process and may be able to fund and trade on their account; however, withdrawals are subject to the completion of full KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. The specific requirements vary depending on the client's country of residence and the ThinkMarkets entity responsible for their account. To avoid any disruption to trading activity, clients are strongly encouraged to complete verification as early as possible.

Clients who register using your referral link correctly will appear in your Partner Portal under Reporting > Client List within 24 hours of their account being verified. Note that commissions are only generated once the client makes a deposit and begins trading.

No minimum client count or volume requirement. Apply, get approved, start referring. Commission rates scale up as your volume grows.

Most applications are reviewed in around 48 minutes. White Label and Regional Partner applications involve a more detailed review and typically take 5 to 10 business days.

Your referred clients can choose from a range of ThinkMarkets account types designed to suit different trading styles, experience levels, and preferences. Available options include the ThinkTrader Account, Standard Account, ThinkZero Account, and ThinkCopy Account.

As a ThinkMarkets partner, you can upgrade to a Master Introducing Broker (MIB) to build a multi-tier network, recruiting sub-IBs underneath you and earning commissions up to three levels deep from their referred clients. To get started, simply reach out to your dedicated account manager or contact the partnerships team directly at partnerships@thinkmarkets.com. The commission structure for your sub-IB network is set up based on agreed tiering percentages, so speak to your account manager to find the arrangement that works best for you.

Introducing Brokers (IBs) must be fully approved before proceeding with a payment withdrawal. Full approval comes with sharing all their promotional channels and submitting their KYC documents. These are documents confirming their identity (POI), such as valid identity card, passport, or driver’s license, and proof of residence (POR), such as utility bill or bank statement. In the case of a corporate account, it will be a standard set of corporate documents.

It depends on your program. IBs earn a fixed amount per lot (up to $12) every time their referrals trade — this is recurring income. Affiliates earn CPA (up to $1,200), a one-time payment for every funded account. Money Managers earn performance fees on profits generated for investors. All commissions show up in the dashboard in real time. See detailed commission rates.

IBs can earn up to $12 per standard lot traded by referred clients. Affiliates can earn up to $1,200 CPA per funded account. Rates vary by instrument and region.

Daily payouts via bank wire, Skrill, Neteller, or crypto. No hidden fees on our end. Minimum payout thresholds are low and vary by method.

Yes. If you are an IB, you can build a multi-tier network. When your sub-IBs refer clients, you earn a commission on their clients' trades too. This works up to three levels deep and is all tracked automatically in your dashboard.

The structure operates across three levels:

Tier 1 — Direct referrals

Tier 2 — Clients brought by sub-IBs you recruit

Tier 3 — Clients from sub-IBs recruited by your Tier 2 partners

Each tier pays a percentage of the lot commission, so income compounds as your network grows.

A minimum of $50 in commissions must be accumulated before an invoice is generated and payment is processed. If the minimum threshold is not reached within the selected payment cycle (daily, weekly, or monthly), commissions will automatically roll over to the next cycle until the required amount is met. No commissions are lost or forfeited, and all earnings continue to accumulate until the minimum payout amount is reached. For example, if you earn $30 in the first cycle, $17 in the second, and $40 in the third, a total payout of $87 will be processed once the threshold is exceeded.

Commissions are recorded at the end of the trading day following the trade close. If a client closes a trade today, the commission will be logged the next day (server time) and will be visible in the Partner Portal alongside the exact commission generated date against each trade.

Affiliates earn up to $1,200 per funded account, depending on the client's country and deposit amount. Rates vary by region — your account manager will confirm the exact CPA for your target markets during onboarding.

IB commissions - paid daily, hitting your account the next business day

Affiliate CPA commissions - paid monthly

Everything is tracked in real time on your dashboard.

Commissions are paid to your partner commission account within the partner portal, and you can then withdraw via available payment methods

No. ThinkMarkets does not deduct processing fees, admin charges, or platform fees from commission payouts. What you see on the dashboard is what you receive.

As an MIB, your earnings come from a multi-tier commission structure that rewards you based on the trading activity generated across your entire sub-IB network. The exact rate for each tier depends on your negotiated agreement and the instruments your network trades. To find out the commission split that applies to your specific network, speak to your dedicated account manager or contact the partnerships team directly at partnerships@thinkmarkets.com

The CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) model pays a fixed one-time commission — up to $1,200 — when a referred client completes registration, passes KYC verification, and makes a qualifying deposit. There are no ongoing commissions tied to future trading activity under this model. CPA rates vary by region; your dedicated account manager will confirm the exact rate for your target markets.

Up to $1,200 per funded account, depending on the client's country and deposit size. High-value regions pay more. Your account manager will provide the exact rate card for your target markets.

Commissions are calculated and updated daily at approximately 3–4 AM GMT, based on the trading volume generated by your entire network, including direct clients and Sub-IBs. You can review your daily commission breakdown at any time in the Reporting section of your Partner Portal.

Yes. As a ThinkMarkets PAMM Money Manager, you can benefit from two income streams simultaneously. First, you may earn per-lot IB commissions based on the trading volume generated by your PAMM master account across all investor-allocated funds. Second, you can earn performance fees on net new profits above the high water mark at the end of each agreed trading period. As your investor base and allocated capital grow, your trading volume and overall earning potential can scale significantly, making PAMM one of the most scalable income opportunities within the ThinkPartners program.
