Introducing Brokers (IBs), or affiliates, are the ultimate asset when it comes to growing your forex brokerage. At FX Back Office, we’ve got the tools to help your IBs take their business to the next level.

Introducing Brokers (IBs), or affiliates, are perhaps one of the most important elements of the forex business. Simply put, IBs and affiliates are individuals who introduce would-be forex investors to a brokerage. They’re your gateway to new clients, to new markets and to growth.

Keeping your affiliates happy is therefore key to running a successful brokerage.

A competitive market

Great IBs are in high demand, every brokerage needs them on their side, so attracting and keeping your affiliates and partners is the name of the game. Brokerages do this through all sorts of programs, incentives and more. From higher commissions, to commissions on 4th or 5th level referrals, to reduced (or no) transfer or deposit fees and all sorts of special conditions, IBs are being chased by brokerages around the world.

Creating the ultimate IB environment

“It’s business, it’s not personal.” While we’d never discount the role that a great account manager can play, most IBs and affiliates are looking for more than a great personal relationship. They’re looking to build their business, to grow, to find new clients and, let’s face it, to make money.

While you can do all the above, you can offer them the best rates, the deepest commissions, are you offering them the best tools to grow their business?

Here’s where we step in.
