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 Asset OfferingPartners can promote over 11,300 tradable instruments, including CFDs on forex, indices, commodities, stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. Strong Regulatory ProfileXTB is regulated by multiple top-tier authorities such as the FCA, CySEC, and KNF, enhancing brand trust and conversion potential. Dedicated Partner SupportThe partnership program provides a dedicated Partnership Manager and localized marketing tools, including personalized educational materials.
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 FocusWhile MT4 is mentioned, XTB heavily promotes its proprietary xStation platform, which may require additional education for clients accustomed to standard platforms. Variable SpreadsThe broker operates with variable spreads, which can widen significantly during periods of low liquidity or high market volatility. Inactivity FeesClients are subject to a monthly inactivity fee of 10 EUR/GBP if no trades are executed within 365 days and no deposits are made within 90 days.
