In this guide, we will explain how the VT Affiliates programme works, how IB, CPA, and Hybrid models differ, how commissions are earned and collected, and what you should know before getting started.

What Is VT Markets Affiliates Programme?

The VT Markets Affiliates Programme is built to support different partner models, from long-term community builders to high-volume digital marketers, within a single, scalable ecosystem. Depending on the partnership model, earnings may come from trading activity, qualified sign-ups, or a combination of both.

The structure is designed to support different business models, from long-term relationship-based referrals to acquisition-focused digital campaigns.

Partnership Models Available

VT Markets offers three core partnership models, each designed for different growth strategies.

Introducing Broker (IB)

An Introducing Broker, or IB, is a partner who refers CFD traders to VT Markets and earns ongoing rebates based on those clients’ trading activity. Instead of relying on one-time rewards only, the IB model is designed to create recurring income as referred clients continue trading over time.

VT Markets presents this model as a way to turn your network into income. For partners with strong access to active traders, the IB structure can be more attractive than a one-off referral payment because the relationship may continue to generate rebates beyond the initial signup stage.

How to Become an IB

1. Register

First, apply to join the VT Markets IB programme. Once your application is approved and your account is set up, you will get access to the Client Portal or IB Portal, where you can manage your partnership activities.

2. Share your referral link and bring in clients

After your IB account is ready, you can copy your unique referral link from the portal and share it with potential clients. When new users register through your link, they are linked to your referral structure.

3. Earn rebates from client trading activity

When your referred clients start trading and meet the relevant conditions, you can begin earning rebates from their trading activity. You can monitor performance, client activity, and commission updates through the portal.

4. Grow your network and increase earning potential

As your referral base grows, your earning potential may also grow. You can continue bringing in new clients and, where applicable, expand your network further through Sub-IB structures to build a broader long-term income stream.

Tools and Support Available to IBs

The IB programme is supported by a wider partner ecosystem that goes beyond rebate tracking alone. IBs can manage their activities through a portal that provides visibility over performance, client and Sub-IB management, rebate handling, and multilingual access.

Alongside these core functions, VT Markets also offers a broader range of trading and support resources, including MT4, MT5, TradingView, WebTrader, the VT Markets app, VTrade copy trading, PAMM solutions, webinars, and ProTrader tools.

How to Find Your Referral Link

Once you have successfully registered as an IB, you can find your referral link inside the Client Portal or IB Portal.

1. Log in to the Client Portal or IB Portal
2. Go to Dashboard

3. Copy the referral link

This is the official link your clients should use when registering under your referral structure.

How to Collect Rebate or Commission as an IB

1. Log in to the Client Portal or IB Portal
2. Go to Dashboard
3. Click Apply for a rebate

4. Wait for rebate to reflect on rebate account
5. Click Withdraw or Transfer

Available options include Mastercard, Visa, bank transfer, Neteller, Skrill, UnionPay, and FasaPay, as well as selected cryptocurrency funding options such as BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and XRP.

How to Transfer Rebate to Your Own Account

IBs may also transfer rebate funds between their own eligible accounts through the rebate transfer request section.

1. Go to Dashboard on the IB portal.
2. Click Transfer in the rebate account section.

3. On the Rebate transfer request page, select Transfer Rebate To Your Account.

4. Under From, choose the sending rebate account.
5. Under To, choose the receiving account.
6. Review the transfer amount shown.
7. Click Submit to complete the transfer request.

How to Transfer Rebate to a Sub-IB Account

VT Markets also allows eligible IBs to transfer rebate funds to a Sub-IB account within the network. This can be useful for partners managing a broader IB structure, as it provides a more flexible way to allocate funds across related accounts where permitted.

1. Select Transfer Rebate To Others
2. Choose your account under From.
3. Enter the Sub-IB’s account under To.

4. Enter the transfer amount and click Add Transaction.
5. Request and enter the Verification Code.
6. Tick the confirmation box and click Submit.

Rebate Cut-Off Time and Processing Timeline

IB rebates are not credited immediately after trading activity takes place. Instead, they are processed through a daily settlement cycle. Once settled, the time required for the rebate to be received may vary depending on the approval process, withdrawal stage, payment method, and the financial institution involved.

The table below provides a general overview of the usual rebate processing timeline.

Expanding the IB Business Through a Multi-Tier Structure

The Introducing Broker model is not limited to direct client referrals alone. For partners seeking to build a more scalable business, VT Markets also supports a multi-tier structure that allows an IB to expand beyond a single layer of referrals by onboarding Sub-IBs into the network.

Under this arrangement, a Master IB can build a broader partnership structure in which Sub-IBs introduce their own clients under the wider network. This creates a more structured growth model for partners who want to move beyond individual client acquisition and develop a larger referral organisation over time.

Common Reasons for Discrepancies in IB Commission

If you estimate your commission manually and the actual payout is different, there are several possible reasons:

• Trading or commission abuse checks If the system detects churning, manipulation, or fraudulent behaviour, VT Markets may cancel the commission or terminate the partnership.
• Timing and reporting differences Time zone gaps, cutoff timing, and reporting delays may cause differences between manual estimates and final payouts.
• Excluded items Internal transfers, cashback, promotional credits, and refunds are not treated as valid trading or new deposits for commission purposes.
• Tier or account-type differences Rebate rates may differ depending on account type, such as Standard STP or RAW ECN. Using the wrong rate assumption may cause mismatches.

If you need a further check, you can contact your account manager or email to info@vtmarkets.com.

CPA Affiliate Programme

The CPA Affiliate programme is designed for partners who focus on acquiring and converting new users rather than building recurring income from long-term client trading activity. Under this model, affiliates earn a one-time commission for each qualified client referred to VT Markets. It is generally well suited to website owners, influencers, online marketers, media buyers, and other partners who specialise in digital traffic and lead generation.

In addition to one-time commissions, the programme also provides dedicated affiliate resources, advanced tracking tools, and account management support to help partners monitor performance and scale their campaigns more effectively.

Benefits of CPA Affiliate Programme

The CPA Affiliate programme is built to help partners maximise earnings while scaling their acquisition efforts more efficiently. In addition to one-time commissions, it also provides support tools and resources designed to improve campaign performance and partner growth.

Key benefits:

• Earn up to $1,500* per qualified referral, depending on client region and trading activity
• Fast and flexible payouts through multiple payment options
• Real-time analytics and reporting to help optimise campaigns
• Multilingual promotional content for different regions and audiences
• Dedicated account manager support to help partners scale faster

*CPA payouts vary by region, client qualification criteria, and applicable campaign structure.

For partners who want a setup that better matches their business goals, VT Markets also provides direct support through partnerships@vtmarkets.com.

How to Become a CPA Affiliate

Joining the CPA Affiliate programme is straightforward. You sign up through the CPA page, receive your tracking link, and start sending digital traffic through your affiliate channels.

Once your referred clients meet the qualification requirements, you become eligible for the corresponding CPA payout.

1. Register through the CPA Affiliate page: https://www.vtaffiliates.com/cpa-affiliates/

2. Fill in your information

3. Submit all required documents for verification

4. Sign and return the agreement
5. Receive access to your affiliate account and partner portal

CPA Rewards Structure

The CPA Affiliate programme uses a tiered commission structure based on both country tiers and the number of monthly qualified referrals. Depending on the applicable market and volume tier, partners can earn up to $1,500 per qualified referral, with additional monthly bonuses available in higher-performing brackets.

CPA Commission Processing Timeline

CPA commissions are triggered once the referred client meets the required qualification criteria, including opening an account and making a deposit. These commissions are usually processed around the middle of the following month. For example, commissions earned in June are typically distributed around July 15.

How to Withdraw CPA Commission

Once the commission has been credited, affiliates can withdraw it through the partner portal.

1. Log in to the partner portal using the credentials received after CPA registration
2. Go to the Dashboard and click Request payment

3. Click Send request

Hybrid Programme

*The Hybrid programme is only available in selected regions and subject to eligibility requirements.

The Hybrid programme is designed for partners who want to combine the strengths of both the CPA and IB models in a single structure. Instead of choosing between one-time acquisition payouts and recurring trading-based rebates, the Hybrid model allows affiliates and IBs to benefit from both.

Under this setup, partners can receive CPA commissions for qualified client sign-ups while also earning ongoing rebates as those referred clients continue trading CFDs over time. This makes the Hybrid programme particularly suitable for partners who are strong not only in attracting and converting new users, but also in building longer-term client value after onboarding.

For partners seeking a more flexible earning model, the Hybrid structure can offer a better balance between immediate revenue and sustained income potential. If you are unsure which model best fits your strategy, the team can help you evaluate the available options.

You can learn more about the Hybrid programme or contact VT Markets if you have any further questions.
