Frequently Asked Questions
The launch of FTMO US Affiliate program
- What is changing with the FTMO US launch?
To serve our clients in the United States effectively and in full compliance with local regulations, we are launching FTMO US, our new, distinct entity for this market. For our affiliate partners, this means that all activity related to FTMO US clients (referrals, commissions, and payouts) will be tracked and managed separately from your existing global-level activity.
- How will this affect my Affiliate Dashboard?
Your affiliate dashboard will feature a new programme switcher, allowing you to toggle between your Global and FTMO US dashboards.
- Global Dashboard: The dashboard will continue to track referrals and commissions from all non-US countries in EUR.
- FTMO Dashboard: This section will specifically track all referrals, sales, and commissions generated from clients signing up for FTMO US. All earnings and thresholds in this section will be denominated in USD ($).
- Will I get a new affiliate link for FTMO US?
Yes. Once you accept the new FTMO US Terms & Conditions (see Q7), you will find a new, separate affiliate link in your FTMO US dashboard designated for that market.
However, the system is designed to be seamless for you and your audience:
- Your Unique ID is the Same: Your unique affiliate ID (the hash at the end of the link) will be identical for both your global and new FTMO US links.
- Smart Redirection is Active: Our system automatically detects a customer’s location. If a US client clicks your global link, they will be correctly redirected to the FTMO US site and tracked. Likewise, if a non-US client clicks your FTMO OANDA link, they will be sent to our global site and tracked appropriately.
Best Practice: While both links will work for any customer, we recommend using the new FTMO US link for US-focused content and your global link for all other promotions to maintain clarity.
- How will commission levels and thresholds work for FTMO US?
FTMO US will have its own independent commission and levelling system based on USD. Your performance and level in the FTMO OANDA market are tracked separately from your global performance. Commissions from Global and FTMO OANDA sales are not combined to determine your level.
The FTMO US commission structure will be as follows:
You will have a separate affiliate level for each program (Global and FTMO US) based on your performance in each respective market.
- How are payouts for FTMO US handled?
Payouts for each program are handled separately and cannot be combined. For legal and accounting reasons, you must request separate payouts for your Global and FTMO US balances.
- Global Payouts: Remain unchanged (Bank transfer, Skrill, Crypto).
- FTMO US Payouts: Initially, payouts for the FTMO US program will be processed exclusively via wire transfer through Wise.com. We are actively working to add more payment options in the future.
- I’m an affiliate outside the US. How does this affect me?
This change affects any affiliate with an audience in the United States. If your promotional efforts reach US traders, you will have the option to participate in the FTMO US program by accepting the new T&Cs. If you have no audience or traffic from the US, your current global affiliate operations will remain unchanged.
- Do I need to sign a new agreement or take any action for the FTMO US launch?
Yes, taking action is required. To start earning from the FTMO US market, you must accept the new FTMO OANDA-specific Terms & Conditions.
Upon the launch, you will be prompted within your affiliate dashboard to review and accept these new T&Cs.
- If you accept, you will gain access to the FTMO US dashboard and your new affiliate link.
- If you choose not to accept, you will not have access to the FTMO US dashboard. Crucially, your affiliate links will not work for clients signing up to FTMO OANDA, and you will not be able to earn commissions from this market.
- Are there different restricted countries for the Global and FTMO US programmes?
Yes. Due to different regulatory frameworks, each affiliate program has its own list of restricted countries. It is your responsibility to ensure your promotional activities target eligible jurisdictions for each respective program.
