Statistics on this page are computed in real time from the BIAFC broker database, which is sourced from official IB partner portals, broker affiliate agreements, and periodic verification with affiliate managers. Data is reviewed quarterly.
Average CPAis calculated as the mean mid-point of each broker’s advertised CPA floor and ceiling across active programs only. Average rebate excludes brokers that do not offer per-lot rebates (rebate_per_lot = 0) to avoid deflating the benchmark. Tier 1designation follows BIAFC’s classification: FCA, ASIC, CySEC, BaFin, FINMA, FSCA, or equivalent AAA-rated regulators.
Commission model classification is derived from each broker’s programme structure: a broker offering CPA, rebates, and revenue share is tagged as “CPA + Rebate + Rev. Share”; a broker offering only CPA and revenue share (no per-lot rebate) is tagged as “CPA + Rev. Share”, etc.
