Our verdict

Westpac's home loan Referrer Program pays Commission on settled loan on a CPA basis, which suits Australian publishers focused on lending rather than anyone chasing recurring income. Recurring commission is no, and it runs in a single country, so the audience ceiling is fixed.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Commission on settled loan ties payout to a settled loan, so the payment follows a real conversion
  • A single CPA model keeps the terms easy to explain in a review
  • Runs inside single country, with lenders readers already recognise
  • Support runs on email

Cons

  • Recurring commission is no, so there is no tail after the loan settles
  • The vertical is lending only, which limits what else you can promote
  • It is a referral programme rather than a full affiliate network, so tracking breadth is narrow

Frequently asked questions

What does the Westpac home loan Referrer Program pay?+

Commission is Commission on settled loan, and the model is a CPA rather than revenue share. That means the payment depends on the loan actually settling, not on a click or a lead form fill. The programme is a referral arrangement, not a full affiliate network.

Does it pay recurring commission?+

Recurring commission is no. There is no residual payment after the loan settles, so each referral is a one off event. Publishers who rely on an ongoing commission tail should look at a programme that pays on a recurring basis.

Which country does the programme run in?+

It runs in single country, so it is open to Australian traffic only. If your audience is spread across several markets, the ceiling on this programme is fixed. Lenders outside that market are out of scope.

What kind of publisher does it suit?+

The vertical is lending, so the natural fit is a home loan, refinancing or borrowing audience. Lenders and buyers already follow your comparison content and trust your numbers. The referral format suits personal finance writers better than broad deal sites.

How do I get paid?+

The programme is operated by Westpac Banking Corporation, and payment follows a settled loan. Because commission is Commission on settled loan, there is nothing to claim on a lead that never converts. Terms and timing sit with the bank, so read the programme terms before you build content around it.

What support do publishers get?+

Support runs on email. Email is the channel to use for questions about a referral or a payment. There is no live chat or phone line listed for the programme, so queries take longer to resolve.

How does it compare with Qonto for finance publishers?+

Qonto pays on CPA per registration plus KYB bonus, which pays out at registration rather than at a settled loan. Westpac pays Commission on settled loan, so the amount arrives later but follows a completed borrowing. Qonto suits volume, Westpac suits depth of intent.

Can I run it alongside other affiliate programmes?+

Yes. It is a referral programme rather than a network, and the vertical is lending only. Many publishers keep it as a lending offer alongside broader finance content. Check the programme terms on exclusivity before you commit a whole section to it.
