Finance affiliate programs, indexed
A working index of financial affiliate programmes we have verified, grouped by category. Every partner page link is checked before it ships, and nothing here is paid placement - programmes are listed because their partner page exists, resolves and is open to publishers.

Transparency · FinTech Traffic operates as a partner (master affiliate) of these programmes. When you open a sub-affiliate or publisher account through a link on this index, we may earn a referral commission, and so may you. No programme pays for placement, and links are checked before they ship.

Why we run this
The audience is already asking. Someone should answer usefully.
"Best affiliate programs" is one of finance publishing's most searched questions, and most of the answers are paid round-ups that rank programs by whoever bought a slot. This index runs the opposite way: programmes are listed because their partner page exists, resolves and is open to publishers, and every page says exactly how we earn from it.
We are not a review site and we make no rankings claims. We are specialist search operators who happen to publish a reference asset, and we update the programmes when partner pages change rather than once a year.
Selection criteria
Eight things to check before you sign up
The commission rate is the easiest number to compare and the least useful on its own. These are the terms that decide whether a programme is worth your audience.
Commission model
Revenue share, CPA, hybrid or tiered. What matters more than the headline rate is whether the model still pays when a referred client trades less than expected or funds an account and stops.
Attribution window
Cookie duration and whether the programme offers server-side or sub-ID tracking. In finance, where a decision can take weeks and involve several visits, a short window quietly removes a large share of the value.
Conversion definition
What actually triggers a payout. A funded challenge, a verified account, a first deposit and a completed trade are very different events with very different rates.
Payment terms and thresholds
Minimum payout, payment schedule, currency and the jurisdiction the payment is made from. A strong commission rate paid quarterly with a high threshold is worse for a small publisher than a modest rate paid monthly.
Product quality
The uncomfortable one. A programme paying well for a product with poor retention will produce a commission for one period and a damaged audience for several.
Publisher terms
Whether you can promote competitors, whether paid search on brand terms is permitted, whether the programme claims ownership of your content and how termination is handled.
Compliance burden
Regulatory requirements the publisher is expected to carry, including disclaimer wording, market eligibility and any additional review the programme requires.
Support and responsiveness
Whether there is a named contact, how disputes are handled and whether the programme answers questions about attribution at all.
Maintenance
How this index is kept honest
Every outbound link is checked on the date shown at the top of each listing page. Where a partner page stops resolving, the programme is removed rather than left in place as a dead link. That has already happened once: a broker restructured its partner section and the programme was moved to its new domain the same day it was found.
Commission descriptions are limited to what a programme publishes about itself. No rate, average payout figure or earnings example on this site comes from a third-party estimate, and none of it is presented as a guarantee. Where a structure varies by market, that is stated rather than averaged.
Programmes are grouped by category and listed alphabetically within a category. There is no ranking, no score and no "top pick", because we do not have the information that would justify one and the judgement would be commercially conflicted.
FAQ
Questions about the index
Are these referrals, or just links to partner pages?
Both, depending on the programme. Each listing marks whether a referral arrangement is in place. Where one is not, the link goes to the programme's official partner page, you apply directly, and we earn nothing on that visit. The marking is visible on every card so there is no ambiguity.
Do programmes pay for placement on this index?
No. Position is decided by category and by what we can verify about the programme, not by commercial terms. If that ever changes, the page will say so before the change happens rather than after.
Why are some well-known programmes missing?
Usually because the partner page did not resolve when we checked it, or because the programme does not accept publishers in the markets our audience operates in. Programmes we cannot verify are not listed, and programmes whose partner pages break are removed rather than left as dead links.
How current is the commission information?
Commission structures are described as advertised by the programme at the time of the last check, with the date shown on the page. They change without notice, so treat what you read here as a starting point for your own conversation with the programme.
Is promoting these programmes compliant?
That depends on your jurisdiction, your audience and how you present the product. Regulated financial products carry disclosure, licensing and marketing restrictions that vary by market, and programme terms do not override them. We are not able to give compliance advice and the pages say so.

This index is one asset. The durable part is the editorial system behind it. We plan, build and measure affiliate content the same way we run client programmes.
