Our verdict on each
Bitpanda
Bitpanda offers Up to 20% revenue share on a CPA and revenue share basis, and the programme runs in europe through Impact. It suits publishers with an investing or crypto audience, and less suited to anyone counting on recurring payouts from a referred account each month.
FXOpen
FXOpen runs a lifetime revenue share on referred trading accounts, so it suits publishers with an audience of active traders rather than a list of one-off signups. The 30 cookie window fits readers who research a broker before funding, and the programme sits with FXOpen EU Ltd, founded in 2005.
A third option
Hfm Affiliates has commission (%) at 60%, against up to 20% for Bitpanda and 20% to 50% for FXOpen.

Pros and cons
Bitpanda
Pros
- Payout routes come in both forms: cpa and revshare means a signup and a share of referred revenue both count.
- The deal is Up to 20% revenue share reaching up to 20%, against the flat 5% per sale Admitad lists.
- Runs on Impact, so tracking, approvals and payouts sit inside an established network rather than a brand built in house.
Cons
- Recurring commission is not offered, so a referred account that keeps trading pays nothing after its first conversion.
- Coverage stops at europe, which leaves a publisher with mainly North American or Asian traffic without an offer to promote.
- Impact is the only network listed, so there is no second platform to compare cookie handling or approval speed against.
FXOpen
Pros
- Recurring commission is yes, so a referred trader who keeps funding an account keeps paying the publisher.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so tracking and payment questions can be raised on any of the listed channels.
- Reach is global, so the same offer can be promoted outside a single country.
Cons
- The 30 window is shorter than the 45 most investing and trading programmes run, and FXOpen sits 39 of 129 on that measure.
- Earnings follow referred trader volume because the model is revshare, so a wide audience of casual readers can pay less than Qonto's CPA per registration plus KYB bonus.
- Joining runs on direct, so there is no second network to compare offers with and no fallback if this programme changes its terms.
Who each suits
Bitpanda
Who it suits
- Publishers with an audience in europe that already reads about investing and crypto.
- Sites willing to keep a platform mentioned over time, since cpa and revshare rewards referred accounts that go on to trade.
- Review pages and newsletters that mix banner links with written referral mentions, which direct and referral tracking supports.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishors who need income to repeat monthly: Bitpanda pays no recurring commission, and Qonto's CPA per registration plus KYB bonus is the per signup structure to weigh against it.
- Lead gen publishers: Mintos's Hybrid lead and CPA commission fits a lead priced model that a share of account revenue does not.
- Anyone who wants a flat per sale payout: Admitad's 5% per sale is easier to forecast than Up to 20% revenue share.
FXOpen
Who it suits
- Publishers whose readers already trade, since recurring commission is yes and the terms are 20% to 50% lifetime commission.
- Publishers with a considered audience, since a 30 window covers research, demo and funding.
- Sites covering investing and crypto, who can run forex and crypto offers from one account.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers who want payment per approved lead: Mintos runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission, which fits finance offers rather than trading revenue.
- Publishors chasing a long attribution window, since the 30 window here is well short of the 365 seen in this category.
- Publishors who prefer a per-sale share across many products: Admitad lists 5% per sale, a different shape from FXOpen's revshare.
Questions about each
Bitpanda
How much does the Bitpanda affiliate programme pay?+
The stated deal is Up to 20% revenue share, with a headline rate of up to 20%. Payouts run on cpa and revshare, so a publisher can be paid per signup and also take a slice of what referred accounts generate. Revenue share keeps paying as those accounts trade, which favours sites with an engaged readership over send and forget traffic.
Does Bitpanda pay commission again on referred accounts each month?+
Recurring commission is not offered. The programme pays Up to 20% revenue share under cpa and revshare, and a referral counts once rather than paying on every later deposit or trade. That makes monthly income depend on fresh signups, so publishers with steady new traffic do better here than those relying on one audience converting slowly.
FXOpen
What commission does FXOpen pay and how is it calculated?+
FXOpen pays 20% to 50% lifetime commission, and the model is revshare rather than a flat fee per signup. Recurring commission is yes, so an account that keeps trading keeps paying its share of the revenue it generates. In practice a publisher earns more from a small number of active traders than from a long list of one-off signups.
How long do I have to convert a referral?+
The cookie window is 30, long enough for a reader who reads a comparison, checks a demo and then opens a live account. It is shorter for readers who bookmark a broker for weeks before funding, so a slow, considered audience will lose some clicks. Reviews and pricing pages help shorten the path, and deep links keep the referral on the right page.
