Pros & Cons for Partners
Pros
- Introducing-broker programme from an established, exchange-listed broker
- Dedicated in-house IB portal for tracking and reporting
- Sub-IB override structure for partners who recruit other introducers
Cons
- IB commercials are quoted on application, not published
- IB model suits partners who introduce clients directly, less so pure content sites
Full Review
CMC Markets runs an introducing-broker (IB) programme rather than a headline CPA affiliate deal. That structure suits partners who introduce clients directly — money managers, educators and regional IBs — more than pure content affiliates.
Tracking and reporting run through CMC's own IB portal, and a sub-IB arrangement is available for partners who build a network of introducers beneath them. Commercial terms are agreed with the partner team.
The draw is the credibility of a long-established, exchange-listed broker. Partners should request the current IB and sub-IB terms in writing before modelling revenue.
