IB programme

To become an IB, you need to:

• Be an existing Deriv affiliate
• Open a Deriv FIAT account
• Have a real Deriv MT5 Standard account

‍

Once you meet the IB programme requirements, contact us via live chat to apply.

‍

For more details, watch our video guide.

The IB programme provides the following benefits for introducing brokers:

• Commissions on client CFD trades (even on weekends and public holidays)
• Daily payouts to your MT5 Standard account
• Access to marketing resources
• A dedicated account manager

As a Deriv IB, you'll earn commission when your clients trade on the following CFD trading platforms:

• Deriv MT5
• Deriv X
• Deriv cTrader

Your MT5 commissions will be credited to your MT5 Standard account daily, while commissions from Deriv X and Deriv cTrader are credited into your real Deriv account daily.

‍

To withdraw your MT5 IB commissions, you'll need to transfer it to your Deriv account and make a withdrawal.

‍

You can withdraw your IB commissions as soon as they are credited into your account. There is no required waiting period for withdrawals.

CFD commissions calculations are based on the following, depending on which CFD platform your client trades on:

• Turnover or trading lot size
• The volume of your clients’ trades

The commission rates vary by asset type and are quoted in USD per round trade.

Note: This plan is not available for IBs who promote to clients residing in the EU.

Forex (Micro): USD 0.04
Note: 1 standard Forex lot is 100,000 units.

There are two formulas for commissions on Deriv MT5 Financial trades:

1. Commission = Commission rate × Number of lots2.
2. Commission = (Commission rate ÷ USD 100,000) x Volume x Execution price x Contract size

‍

‍Example calculation for commission per lots:
Commission = Commission rate × Number of lotsFor Forex trades like EUR/USD:

• Opening trade: USD 2 commission x 1 lot = USD 2
• Closing trade: USD 2 commission rate x 1 lot = USD 2
• Total commission: USD 2 + USD 2 = USD 4

‍

‍This calculation applies to Commodities (Metals) and all Forex pairs on a Deriv MT5 Financial account.
‍

‍Example calculation for commission per trade:
Commission = (Commission rate ÷ USD 100,000) x Volume x Execution price x Contract size

‍

For Cryptocurrency trades like BTC/USD:

• Opening trade (BTC at USD 50,000): (USD 10 ÷ USD 100,000) × 1 lot × USD 50,000 = USD 5
• Closing trade (BTC at USD 40,000): (USD 10 ÷ USD 100,000) × 1 lot × USD 40,000 = USD 4
• Total commission: USD 5 + USD 4 = USD 9

‍

‍This formula applies to Commodities (Energies), Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Stock Indices, and ETFs.

The commission rates vary by asset type and are quoted in USD per round trade.

Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution Price × Contract size

‍

For our example, we will use a cryptocurrency BTC/USD trade.

‍

Total commission formula

• Commission = (Opening commission rate × Number of lots) + (Closing commission rate × number of lots)

‍

Opening trade

• Execution price: $50,000
• Volume: 1 lot
• Commission rate: $10 per $100,000
• Contract size: 1
• Calculation: ($10 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $50,000 × 1 = $5

‍

Closing trade

• Execution price: $40,000
• Volume: 1 lot
• Commission rate: $10 per $100,000
• Contract size: 1
• Calculation: ($10 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $40,000 × 1 = $4

‍

Total commission: $5 + $4 = $9

‍

‍This formula applies to Forex, Cryptocurrencies, and Commodities (Metals).

There are two formulas for commissions on Deriv MT5 Financial trades:

1. Commission = Commission rate x Volume
2. Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution Price × Contract size

‍

‍Example calculation for Formula 1
Commission = Commission rate x Volume

‍

Example for EUR/USD:

• Opening trade: USD 5 commission rate x 1 lot = USD 5
• Closing trade: USD 5 commission rate x 1 lot = USD 5
• Total commission: USD 5 + USD 5 = USD 10

‍

‍This formula applies to Forex and Commodities (Metals).
‍

‍Example calculation for Formula 2
Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution Price × Contract size

‍

Example for Volatility 75 Index:

• Opening trade (at $150,000): ($5 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $150,000 × 1 = $7.50
• Closing trade (at $140,000): ($5 ÷ $100,000) × 1 lot × $140,000 × 1 = $7
• Total commission: $7.50 + $7 = $14.50

Commission = (Commission rate ÷ $100,000) × Volume × Execution price × Contract size × Exchange rate to USD

‍

Example: Volatility 90 (1s) Index

‍

Opening trade

• Commission rate: $7 per $100,000
• Volume: 1 lot
• Execution price: $20,000
• Contract size: 1
• Exchange rate to USD: 1

Calculation: ($7 ÷ $100,000) × 1 × $20,000 × 1 × 1 = $1.40

‍

Closing trade

• Commission rate: $7 per $100,000
• Volume: 1 lot
• Execution price: $20,000
• Contract size: 1
• Exchange rate to USD: 1

Calculation: ($7 ÷ $100,000) × 1 × $19,000 × 1 × 1 = $1.33

‍

Total commission: $1.4 + $1.33 = $2.73
