IB Programme Terms

1Programme Overview

The Equity IB Introducing Broker Programme enables eligible individuals and entities to introduce traders to our broker partners and earn rebates based on the trading volume generated by those referred clients. Equity IB acts as a commercial intermediary, facilitating the relationship between IBs and broker partners and managing rebate administration on behalf of those partners.

Participation in the programme is subject to approval by Equity IB and is governed by these terms, our general Terms and Conditions, and any supplementary terms provided in writing during your onboarding.

2Eligibility

To be eligible for the Equity IB IB Programme, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), have the legal capacity to enter into commercial agreements, not be located in a restricted jurisdiction where such programmes are prohibited or regulated in a way that prevents participation, and not be subject to any regulatory sanction or prohibition that would prevent you from acting as an Introducing Broker.

Equity IB reserves the right to impose additional eligibility criteria at its discretion and to exclude any applicant or existing partner from the programme at any time.

3Application and Approval

To apply for the programme, you must complete our online application form with accurate and truthful information about yourself, your trading experience, your current IB activity and your client base. Incomplete or misleading applications may result in rejection or subsequent termination of your partnership.

Equity IB reviews all applications and will notify you of the outcome, typically within 24–48 hours. Approval is at Equity IB's sole discretion. We are under no obligation to provide reasons for declining an application.

4IB Dashboard and Tracking

Upon approval, you will be provided with access to an IB dashboard through which you can access your unique referral links, track referred client activity, view your rebate accrual in real time, and request withdrawals. Your referral links are unique to your account and must be used for all client referrals.

Equity IB uses tracking technology to attribute referred clients to your account. We cannot credit referrals that are not made through your unique tracking links. It is your responsibility to use your referral links correctly and to notify us promptly if you believe a referral has not been correctly attributed.

5Rebate Structure and Tiers

Rebates are calculated based on the total qualifying trading volume generated by your referred clients in each calendar month, measured in standard lots. The applicable rebate rate is determined by your tier, which is assessed monthly based on your verified total volume. Higher volume unlocks higher tiers and higher rebate rates per lot.

The current tier structure and rebate rates are published on our website and may be updated from time to time. Updated rates will apply from the start of the following calendar month. Equity IB does not guarantee that current rates will remain fixed and may adjust the tier structure with reasonable notice.

6Rebate Calculations

Rebates are calculated by multiplying the total qualifying lots traded by your referred clients in the applicable period by the rebate rate corresponding to your tier for that period. Only lots traded in eligible instruments through eligible account types on approved broker platforms will count towards your volume total.

Equity IB will provide transparent reporting of your volume and rebate calculations through your IB dashboard. If you believe a discrepancy exists in your rebate calculation, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the relevant calculation date.

7Payment and Settlement

Rebates are calculated daily and credited to your IB account balance. You may request a withdrawal of your available balance at any time through your IB portal. Withdrawals are processed by Equity IB or the applicable broker partner and settled to your chosen payment method.

Payment processing times vary by method and may be subject to verification requirements. Equity IB does not guarantee any specific settlement timeframe but aims to process requests promptly. We are not responsible for delays caused by third-party payment processors, banking systems or technical issues.

8Payment Methods

Available payment methods may include international bank transfer (SWIFT), local bank transfer (where available), and cryptocurrency transfers including USDT (TRC20), USDT (ERC20), Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Available methods are subject to change and may vary based on your country of residence and the applicable broker partner.

All payment details and verification requirements are confirmed during your onboarding. It is your responsibility to maintain accurate and current payment information in your IB account. Equity IB is not liable for payments sent to incorrect or outdated payment details you have provided.

9Account Verification and KYC

Before receiving any payment, you will be required to complete identity verification (KYC) in accordance with our Anti-Money Laundering Policy and the requirements of the applicable broker partner. Required documents may include government-issued identification, proof of address, company documents (for corporate applicants) and any other verification information requested.

Failure to complete or maintain satisfactory verification may result in payment being withheld, access to the programme being suspended, or termination of your partnership. We are under no obligation to make payments to unverified accounts.

10Marketing Standards

As an IB partner, you agree to conduct all marketing and promotional activities in a manner that is truthful, accurate, fair and compliant with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. You must not make false or misleading statements about the Equity IB programme, any broker partner, trading risks, or expected earnings.

All marketing materials must include appropriate risk warnings as required by applicable regulations and as specified in our marketing guidelines. You are responsible for ensuring that all content you produce or distribute in connection with the programme is compliant with local advertising and financial promotion rules.

11Prohibited Marketing Activities

The following marketing activities are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of your IB partnership:

• Guaranteeing or promising specific financial returns or rebate earnings to prospective traders
• Using the Equity IB name, logo or trademarks without written authorisation
• Making any statement that could be construed as investment advice
• Targeting individuals under 18 years of age
• Using paid advertising that violates platform policies (e.g. restricted categories on Google or Meta)
• Engaging in unsolicited mass communications (spam)
• Making false or misleading comparisons with competitors
• Incentivising artificial trading volume to manipulate rebate calculations

12Confidentiality

By participating in the programme, you may receive confidential information about Equity IB's operations, commercial arrangements, broker relationships, rebate structures and technology. You agree to keep all such information strictly confidential and not to disclose it to any third party without our prior written consent.

Confidentiality obligations survive termination of your IB partnership indefinitely.

13Nature of the Relationship

You are an independent contractor and not an employee, agent or legal representative of Equity IB. You do not have the authority to bind Equity IB contractually or to make any representations on our behalf. You are solely responsible for your own tax obligations, business registrations and regulatory compliance.

14Termination

Either party may terminate the IB partnership at any time by providing written notice. Equity IB may terminate your partnership immediately, without notice, in the event of a material breach of these terms, fraudulent activity, regulatory breach, reputational risk, or at our sole discretion.

Upon termination, all accrued and unpaid rebates will be calculated and settled in accordance with these terms, subject to any withholdings for outstanding disputes or verification requirements. Access to your IB dashboard and referral links will be removed.

15Broker Discretion

Rebate programmes are ultimately operated in partnership with independent, regulated brokers. Broker partners retain the right to adjust, suspend or terminate rebate arrangements in accordance with their own regulatory obligations, business decisions and commercial terms. Equity IB will endeavour to notify you of material changes as soon as reasonably practicable.

16Amendments

Equity IB may amend these Programme Terms at any time by providing written notice or by posting updated terms on this page. Continued participation in the programme after the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to any amendment, you may terminate your partnership by providing written notice.
