Our verdict
Banco Santander pays on CPA per approval, a setup that suits publishers sending banking and lending traffic from a single market who can win approvals rather than raw clicks. It runs as a direct programme through Indoleads, and recurring commission is a no.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Pays CPA per approval, which puts the weight on approval rate rather than click volume.
- A direct programme on Indoleads, so the bank and the network sit in the same loop as the publisher.
- Support runs on email and phone, so questions go straight to the programme team.
- Finance programmes here sit at 5,000 publishers, so the audience pool is already there.
Cons
- Recurring commission is a no, so nothing pays on top of the approved application.
- Coverage sits in a single market (single country), so international traffic earns nothing.
- Support runs on email and phone only, while 58.9% of programmes in the directory also run a help centre.
Who it suits
- Publishers who can persuade readers to finish an approval, since commission follows CPA per approval.
- Sites with banking and lending content, because the offer covers banking and lending.
- Publishers on Indoleads who want a bank offer alongside the finance campaigns they already run.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after revenue share or recurring payouts: this one pays CPA per approval and recurring commission is a no, so Qonto and its CPA per registration plus KYB bonus may suit better.
- Publishers who want leads paid as well as finished customers: Mintos runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission.
- Anyone who prefers a share of completed sales: Admitad pays 5% per sale.

Frequently asked questions
How does Banco Santander pay affiliates?+
Commission is CPA per approval, so the payout follows an approved application rather than a click, a signup or a completed sale. The model reads cpa, which is a single event payment. In a comparison like this one, that makes the approval rate of your traffic the number that matters, not raw clicks.
Is there recurring commission?+
Recurring commission is a no. The model is cpa, so an approved application is the event that pays, and readers who come back to the bank later do not generate another payment on the same account.
Which network runs the Santander programme?+
It is reached through Indoleads and is set up as a direct arrangement, so the bank and the publisher deal directly rather than through an extra sub-network layer. If you already promote finance offers from Indoleads, this is a small addition to the same reporting rather than a new account to manage.
Which countries can I promote it in?+
The offer runs in single country, which covers a single market, and the programme is run by Banco Santander S.A.. Readers in other countries sit outside the deal, so a site with a mixed international audience earns only from the share of clicks coming from the home market.
What can I actually promote?+
The verticals cover banking and lending, so the offer sits in banking and lending rather than trading or insurance. A finance blog with current accounts and loan content is the natural fit, while a site aimed at investors or crypto audiences will find the audience overlap thin.
How do I reach the programme team?+
Support runs on email and phone, which is direct contact with the people running the offer rather than a help centre or chat desk. For a programme like this one, that matters most when an approval is stuck or a tracking gap needs chasing.
Who does this programme suit?+
It suits a direct bank offer with CPA per approval, so the publisher decides how hard to push for approvals. Finance sites with a steady flow of comparison traffic and the patience to write about onboarding fit well. New publishers with no banking audience will struggle to convert.
How does it compare with similar finance programmes?+
The main difference is that commission is CPA per approval rather than anything layered. Mintos runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission, Qonto runs CPA per registration plus KYB bonus, and Admitad pays 5% per sale. If you want a bonus or a lead paid on top of the customer, those fit better.
