Our verdict on each
Mintos
Mintos pays on a hybrid lead and CPA basis and keeps a cookie window of 90 days, one of the longer windows among the programs here. It suits European publishers covering investing and lending, though support runs on email, help centre and community only.
Wallester
Wallester suits publishers with European business and finance audiences who can convert intent into funded accounts, since the offer is a two-step PPL of EUR 100 + EUR 300 2-step PPL on a 60 window. The banking vertical keeps the audience narrow, so volume comes from Europe, not from the wider web.

Pros and cons
Mintos
Pros
- Cookie window of 90 days sits well past the 30 day median across the programmes listed here
- Pays on Hybrid lead and CPA commission, so leads and signups both earn
- Runs on the Impact network, a familiar route for established finance publishers
Cons
- A hybrid Hybrid lead and CPA commission model means approval rules sit with Mintos, so tracking is not fully under the publisher's control
- Coverage is europe only, which limits reach next to a global programme
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone or live chat listed for account questions
Wallester
Pros
- Two-step PPL of EUR 100 + EUR 300 2-step PPL pays on a qualified lead that becomes a funded account.
- cpa, cpl and revshare gives publishers a choice of models rather than a single payout type.
- Recurring commission is on, so an account that keeps its balance keeps paying.
Cons
- europe caps the audience, so North American traffic has little to convert here.
- banking is narrow, which limits the number of pages a publisher can write.
- The programme pays on a two-step PPL under EUR 100 + EUR 300 2-step PPL, so a lead that stalls before funding pays nothing.
Who each suits
Mintos
Who it suits
- Publishers writing about peer to peer investing and loan comparison in European markets
- Finance content teams already working with the Impact network
- Reviewers who need a long attribution window before a reader signs up
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing a revenue share, since the terms here are Hybrid lead and CPA commission rather than a share of revenue
- Anyone needing global reach, because coverage is europe
- Publishers who want phone support, since channels are email, help centre and community
Wallester
Who it suits
- Publishers running finance or small business content for European readers
- Sites with an audience that already trusts banking and fintech brands
- Network affiliates who want a second, recurring option alongside a per-approval offer
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing North American audiences, since the programme runs in europe
- Anyone wanting a wide vertical mix, because the offer sits in banking only
- Publishors who need long decision windows, since the window is 60 days

Questions about each
Mintos
How much does the Mintos affiliate programme pay?+
Mintos pays Hybrid lead and CPA commission, listed under the model cpa, cpl and hybrid. That means a lead can earn and a converting signup can earn again. No fixed rate or minimum payout figure is given, so the per lead amount has to come from the programme.
How long is the cookie window on Mintos?+
The window is 90 days. That is longer than the 30 day median across the programmes compared here, which gives a reader more time between a first click and a funded account. It ranks at position 12 of 129 brands ranked on window length.
Wallester
How much does Wallester pay per approved account?+
The per-approval payout is €200, paid under a two-step PPL of EUR 100 + EUR 300 2-step PPL. A lead that never turns into a funded account earns nothing, so lead quality matters more than lead volume here. The model list is cpa, cpl and revshare.
How long is the cookie window?+
The window runs 60 days. That is longer than the finance median of 30 days, so a reader who takes a fortnight to open a business account can still be credited. It is shorter than the 90 day ceiling seen in the banking and fintech group.
