Referral All-in-One: KuCoin Broker Pro Program (BPP)
Dear KuCoin Brokers
The BPP program aims to develop a comprehensive commission sharing policy that allows referrers to invite multiple types of users to join the platform, whether new registrations or expansion of existing users.
The commission-sharing for referrers is based on the referee trading fee rebates plus additional commission markups under API transaction if you provided trading toolkit, strategies, or bots.
here is what i can share from user commissions as a KuCoin broker to
-
Earn from invitation: 40% to 70% of the commissions
-
Earn from offering bot service without invitation: 40% to 55% of the commissions
-
Earn from both invitation and offering bot service: 40% to 70% of the commissions
The typical clients that are suitable for broker programs include trading bots, social trading platforms, open-source trading libraries, trading execution platforms, exchange aggregators, asset management platforms, and quant trading platform affiliates.

Distribution Policy
-
Brokers will enjoy 40% to 70% commissions and the commission rate level relies on the cumulative trading volume of the broker users' last month's performance. The starting level of commission rate is fixed at 40% for any new broker but it can be negotiable if the broker has been granted a better rebate rate from other top exchanges.
-
The Commission amount is calculated as the net trading fee multiplies the commission rate on every broker user’s transaction. The net trading fee contains deductions of using KCS, counterparty market maker rebates, and other situations of using discount coupons.
-
The assessment of Spot and futures brokers is independent.
-
During the first 2 natural months with fixed commissions no less than 40% after API integration, brokers can get assessment exemptions and utilize this period to grow the business.
-
Commission sharing is limited to the user’s VIP level.
-
Users doing api trading from the broker and having referral relation with the broker: user’s VIP level from VIP0-VIP4 are adapted according to the 40%~70% tier rule (Situation 1); VIP5-VIP6 levels are adapted according to the 40%~55% tier rule (Situation 4).
-
Users doing api trading from the broker but without referral relation with the broker: user’s VIP level from VIP0-VIP6 are adapted according to the 40%~55% tier rule (Situation 3 or 4);
-
Users doing non-api trading or api trading without from broker but having referral relation with the broker: user’s VIP level from VIP0-VIP4 are adapted according to the 40%~70% tier rule (Situation 2);
-
-
Any trading fee revenue coming from users with higher levels beyond the range above or market makers won’t be allocated to the brokers.
-
Commission sharing is automatically distributed daily but with a 1-day deferral.
-
Brokers can split your commission with your influencer partner, marketing partner, or your affiliated/non-affiliated end users. (Situation 4) Please check this document for details.
-
KuCoin Broker commission is not impacted by the KuCoin Affiliate program. KuCoin Brokers ranks in a higher hierarchy on commissions than KuCoin Affiliates. This means the KuCoin system will firstly identify if a transaction comes from a broker. If yes, then API brokers enjoy commission-sharing first.
-
Security enhancement.
Third-party API key creation service: users can create a unique API key under a designated third party broker and the creation matches the full IPs verified by the broker.
OAuth2.0 Service
Fast API Service which allows broker users to connect to the broker’s website/app via KuCoin OAuth2.0 login, an one-click authorization linked to third-party applications. The significant improvement with Fast API service is to generate enhanced security of the trading and simplify the way to connect KuCoin and Broker.
No extra passphrase or API key (version3) is required to be manually binded with the broker's bot. The OAuth connection will automatically create an API key and automatically connect to the broker. The key has default permissions with spot trading, futures trading, as well as getting access to KuCoin Earn.
