Our verdict on each
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.
Revolut
Revolut pays a low but fast fee for a well known account, which suits publishers sending steady sign ups. Payout is CPA up to £500 per referral, the cookie window is 30 days, and that window sits at 39 of 129.

Pros and cons
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.
Revolut
Pros
- A listed payout of £5 makes earnings easy to forecast
- Cookie window of 30 days matches the site median of 30
- Runs on Impact and Rakuten
Cons
- Recurring commission: no, so each referral pays once only
- Listed payout of £5 sits under the finance median of €43.85
- Cookie window of 30 days places at 39 of 129
Who each suits
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.
Revolut
Who it suits
- Publishers comparing card sign up offers in the banking, investing and crypto space
- Networks and teams already working on Impact and Rakuten
- Anyone happy with a single payment per referral
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a lead payout, since Mintos runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission
- Business banking publishers who may earn more with Qonto, which runs CPA per registration plus KYB bonus
- Publishers wanting a revenue share model, since Admitad runs 5% per sale and Revolut pays cpa
Questions about each
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.
Revolut
How much does Revolut pay per referral?+
Terms are CPA up to £500 per referral, and the listed payout figure is £5. The model is cpa, so payment follows a signup rather than a share of later spending. Payouts run monthly on 30-day terms.
How long is the Revolut cookie window?+
The cookie window is 30 days, which is the same as the 30 site median. Among brands compared on the site it places at 39 of 129. Publishers with longer windows to sell may prefer other options.
