Our verdict
Deriv Affiliates pays 45% revenue share alongside a CPA, with Monthly payouts and recurring commission on referred traders. It suits publishers already writing for the investing vertical who want both payment models on one programme rather than splitting audience across networks.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Two models sit side by side, cpa and revshare, so one referred trader can pay a CPA and keep a share running.
- Recurring commission is part of the deal, so a trader pays again after the first month.
- Both direct and referral routes are supported, so a solo reviewer and a small team can both use it.
- The share component means a strong month of trading keeps earning after signups slow down.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, so publisher questions go through published help material.
- Coverage is one vertical, investing, so banking or lending publishers earn nothing here.
- Payouts are Monthly payouts, so commission waits for the next run instead of clearing as it accrues.
Who it suits
- Publishers whose readers already trade or invest, sitting in the investing vertical.
- Review sites that want a CPA and a share described in one set of terms, Up to 45% revenue share + $100 CPA.
- Small teams running sub-affiliate networks, since direct and referral includes referral as well as direct.
Who should look elsewhere
- Admitad, which pays 5% per sale, fits publishers chasing retail and ecommerce sales volume.
- Qonto, which pays CPA per registration plus KYB bonus, suits business banking and account-opening campaigns.
- Mintos, which runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission, suits lead-driven finance publishers who prefer a flat payment per lead.
What the programme pays
Terms are Up to 45% revenue share + $100 CPA. The model reads cpa and revshare, so a referred trader can trigger a CPA and still sit inside the revenue share. Recurring commission is part of the deal, which gives the same referral an ongoing leg after the first payout. The practical read: an upfront payment for the signup plus a share that keeps paying on the same account.
Frequently asked questions
What does Deriv Affiliates pay?+
Terms are Up to 45% revenue share + $100 CPA, so a referred trader carries both a revenue share and a CPA. The model reads cpa and revshare, which is why one referral can trigger two payment types. Plan around the share as the long leg and the CPA as the immediate one.
Is the commission recurring?+
Recurring commission is offered, so a referred trader keeps paying after the first conversion rather than stopping at signup. It sits alongside the CPA in Up to 45% revenue share + $100 CPA, giving an upfront payment and a continuing share from the same account.
When are payouts made?+
Payouts are Monthly payouts, released on a fixed cycle rather than the moment a referral converts. The CPA listed is $100. Cash flow depends on volume, so a heavy signup month still waits for the next run.
Who is the programme for?+
It fits publishers whose audience already sits in the investing vertical and who talk to traders directly. Both direct and referral routes are open, so an individual reviewer and a team building a referral network can each use it.
Can I promote it as a sub-affiliate?+
Yes, referral relationships are part of direct and referral. Under a direct partnership you promote the platform and earn Up to 45% revenue share + $100 CPA. Under referral you introduce publishers who run their own campaigns, and the recurring commission follows the trader rather than the sub-publisher.
What support do publishers get?+
Support runs on help centre. Answers come from published help material rather than a named manager, which suits publishers with standard questions about tracking and payouts. Campaigns needing custom media or bespoke terms need those settled before you commit audience.
How does it compare with lead-based finance programmes?+
Mintos runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission, a lead-first model without an ongoing share. Qonto pays CPA per registration plus KYB bonus, built around one account opening. Deriv Affiliates ties cpa and revshare to the same referral and adds recurring commission on top.
What cookie window do these programmes run?+
Across the investing and trading group here, the median attribution window is 45 and the upper quartile reaches 60. Traders often take a while to open an account, so weigh that window against your own audience's conversion speed.
