Referral program is an incentive program to invite your acquaintances to use our service. When a new customer joins via your referral link, you get 0.5% of their trading volume as a reward to your account for the first 6 months. Hence, if you have invited successfully for example three new users whose trading volume has been 4000€/person during the first six months, you will earn 60€ yourself.

On your Referral program page you have two referral links. One of them directs to the signup, and one of them directs to our front page. From both referral links a 14-hour cookie is activated. When a user you have invited registers within 14 hours of clicking your link, you have become their referrer. You can see statistics of your referred customers and rewards on the Referral program page.
