How does the CEX.IO Affiliate/Referral Program work?

CEX.IO rewards you for inviting new customers to our platform.

You can share your personal referral link by simply copying it. You can also use the landing page you want to direct users to, and place banners on your website or blog. Once someone registers on CEX.IO using your referral link, and makes a trade, you’ll get 30% of their commissions. This reward will be available to collect after compliance review in 30-45 days; the reward amount will be calculated in USDC equivalent at the moment the qualifying transaction is completed.

You can use your reward to trade cryptocurrencies, withdraw it directly to your payment card (Visa or Mastercard), withdraw it via bank transfer, or send funds to e-wallets.

How can I sign up for the CEX.IO Affiliate/Referral Program?

To participate in our Affiliate/Referral Program, you just need to be a verified CEX.IO customer. Once you open an account, you can generate and share your personal referral link.
