Partnership analysis
Key Advantages	Strong Regulatory FrameworkFBS holds licenses from both CySEC and the FSC Belize, providing a regulated environment for both European and global clients. Extensive Asset SelectionPartners can market over 550 tradable instruments, including Forex, indices, commodities, and stocks. High Leverage OptionsThe global entity offers maximum leverage up to 1:3000, which can be a strong acquisition tool for specific trader demographics.	Extensive Regulatory FrameworkSaxo Bank holds licenses from multiple Tier-1 regulators, including the Danish FSA, FCA, and MAS, providing a highly secure environment for client funds. Comprehensive Multi-Asset OfferingPartners can market over 71,000 instruments across forex, stocks, bonds, ETFs, and commodities, catering to a diverse and sophisticated client base. Advanced API IntegrationThe broker provides robust OpenAPI technology, allowing partners to create bespoke, fully integrated user experiences and seamless front-to-back operations.
Considerations	Undisclosed Commission RatesThe official documentation does not publicly disclose specific CPA or revenue share tiers, requiring direct negotiation. Regional Leverage RestrictionsEuropean clients onboarded under the CySEC entity are strictly limited to 1:30 leverage for retail accounts. Limited Platform DiversityWhile offering the industry-standard MT4 and MT5, the broker lacks alternative third-party platforms like cTrader or TradingView.	Proprietary Platform FocusThe broker relies heavily on its proprietary SaxoTrader and SaxoInvestor platforms, which may require a learning curve for clients accustomed to standard third-party software. Institutional Target AudienceThe extensive product range and sophisticated tools are primarily tailored toward advanced traders and institutional clients, potentially limiting conversion rates among novice retail traders. Stringent Onboarding RequirementsAs a highly regulated bank, Saxo enforces strict KYC and compliance protocols, which may extend the time required to fully onboard and activate referred clients.
