Why we chose XM, a quick announcement
Our team vets partner programs for reach, technology, and fairness. XM scored high in all three areas. We like clear payout rules, fast payments, and support that solves problems. XM ticks these boxes. The brand is also known across more than 190 countries, which helps your click-to-account rate. With this partnership, we will guide new signups, share launch assets, and help you optimise your funnel.
If you are ready to join, use our partner route so our team can support you from day one. You can request our launch kit, tracking checks, and creative feedback after you sign up.
XM Partner Program at a glance
Here are the fast facts that matter to affiliates. XM pays on time with daily payout cycles through its automated cashback system. The minimum payout is low, so you do not wait long to withdraw. There is a 10% sub-affiliate layer that rewards you on referred partners. The platform is simple to use, and you have access to multilingual support when you need help.
Payout speed: Daily cycles with fast automated release once balances clear
Minimum payout: $5 for Lot Rebate, $150 and 3 standard lots for CPA
Sub-affiliate earnings: 10% of your referred partners’ commissions
Global footprint: Over 250,000 active partners in 190+ countries
Partner portal: Real-time stats, link builder, creative library
These points shape how you plan cash flow and scale. Daily payouts reduce risk. A low minimum helps new affiliates recycle ad spend. Sub-affiliate earnings reward network builders and community owners. The portal tools speed up testing and tracking.
Commissions and payout options
XM offers the main commission models that finance affiliates expect. You can run Revenue Share on trading activity, CPA on first-funded actions, CPL for qualified leads, or a hybrid that blends CPA and Rev Share. This flexibility means you can match payout to traffic source. High-intent search traffic often fits CPA or hybrid. Community or content sites may prefer Rev Share, since loyalty and education drive repeat activity.
With Revenue Share you earn an ongoing commission based on your referred clients’ trading volume. XM pays up to $80 per lot traded on forex, $75 on crypto CFDs, and $80 on metals. This model rewards retention and education. If your audience trusts your guides and stays active, your income compounds each month.
CPA and CPL
CPA pays a fixed amount once a referred trader funds and trades the required minimum (three standard lots). XM’s CPA plan can reach up to $1,000 per client depending on region and activity. CPL pays when a lead meets pre-qualified quality criteria. CPA suits affiliates driving strong first-deposit conversions, while CPL fits top-of-funnel publishers focused on lead generation.
Hybrid
The hybrid model combines both—a smaller CPA payout with a slice of lifetime Revenue Share. It balances quick cash flow and long-term earnings. Paid media buyers often prefer hybrid to reduce day-one risk while keeping future upside.
Sub-affiliate earnings
XM also pays 10% of sub-affiliate earnings. You earn a percentage on the total revenue your referred partners generate, fully funded by XM. This helps network builders scale, as your partner network grows and earns alongside you.
Payout methods and timing
XM supports common payout methods including Neteller, Skrill, Bank Wire, and Wire Transfer. Payouts are processed daily through the affiliate dashboard, with the minimum threshold set at $5 for Lot Rebate accounts or $150 for CPA partners. Automated daily payouts help affiliates reinvest faster and reduce cash flow pressure.
Tools that boost conversions and retention
XM’s affiliate stack is designed for precision and speed. You get tracking, tagging, and full data transparency.
Tracking and attribution: Accurate links, tags, and postbacks that match clicks to trades
Reporting: Real-time dashboards, cohort views, and exports
API and webhooks: Automate data sync with your CRM or warehouse
Campaign handlers: Group links by channel, region, or creative
Custom landers: Request tailored landing pages in 25+ languages
Auto-rebate: Built-in programs for affiliates offering client rebates
Use these tools to create a clean feedback loop. Tag every link, push events into your CRM, and monitor cohorts weekly. Double down on what converts, pause what doesn’t, and scale proven combinations of region, creative, and copy.
Marketing materials and localisation
XM provides a large creative library with static banners, HTML5 assets, and video content. You can also request custom creatives in your preferred languages. Materials are translated into over 25 languages, supporting campaigns across Europe, LATAM, Africa, and Asia.
We recommend a simple launch kit for new partners:
- Three banner sets in top-performing sizes
- Two short video clips for pre-roll or social
- Three text ads for search
- One lead magnet (for example, a forex quick-start guide)
- One landing page per target country
Localisation drives conversion. Use local payment examples, time zones, and asset variants per region. XM’s creative support team helps affiliates adjust visuals and copy to each market.
Loyalty, promotions, and competitions
XM runs public promotions and private affiliate competitions throughout the year. There’s also a Rewards Program where partners can collect points and redeem them for cash alongside regular commissions. Plan your calendar around these events, using countdowns, email reminders, and post-campaign follow-ups to sustain engagement.
Education and market intelligence your audience will value
XM produces continuous educational content—live webinars, recorded tutorials, podcasts, and daily market insights in multiple languages. Affiliates can link to these resources inside their funnels to boost credibility and retention.
A simple funnel template that performs well:
- Landing page offering a 5-part beginner course
- Email delivery of a free guide and welcome note
- Follow-up emails linking to XM’s lessons
- Call-to-action to open and fund an account
- Retention content on platform features and risk management
Keep lessons concise and practical. Use examples and visual cues, and refresh content quarterly based on user feedback.
Client experience, support, and payments
Client experience directly affects conversion and lifetime value. XM provides multilingual live chat, dedicated account managers, and quick processing for deposits and withdrawals. The system supports regional gateways, which improves conversion in markets where local payment familiarity matters. Clear communication and real-time updates reduce friction and improve trust.
