Overview
What is the Digital Surge corporate affiliate program?
The corporate affiliate program is Digital Surge's business-to-business partnership, run as a managed relationship rather than a casual link-share. That makes it distinct from the consumer refer a friend program, which is built for individuals rather than businesses.
Commission
How much can partners earn on referred trading fees?
Corporate affiliates earn a percentage of the net trading fees their referred customers pay: up to 50% in some instances. "Net" means the commission is calculated on the fees Digital Surge actually collects, not on the dollar value your customers trade or on any funds you deposit. The more actively your referred customers trade, the more the commission grows.

How it works
How referrals are tracked and attributed to your account
Attribution runs on your own partner page, not a discount code: when a customer creates their account from it, they're linked to your partner account for good, so every fee they generate afterwards is tracked back to you automatically. There's no manual claim to lodge and nothing to reconcile yourself. Your dedicated partner domain and portal (covered under Partner benefits below) do that work for you.

The exchange
Why partner with Digital Surge?
Digital Surge is an Australian-based, AUSTRAC-registered exchange loved by 50,000+ customers and trusted with over $1.8B traded, with over 400 cryptocurrencies to trade, competitive trading fees and spreads, no AUD deposit or withdrawal fees and instant buy and sell. Referring customers to a trusted local platform makes the partnership easier to grow. Figures as at July 2026, shown live in-app.
Referred customers trade on the same platform as any other Digital Surge customer (there's no separate, lower-trust tier for a partner's audience), so you can point them to how we keep the platform secure with confidence.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Digital Surge have a crypto program for institutional partners?
Yes. The corporate affiliate program is built for institutional and business partners referring at scale, with a customisable API for larger partners (see Partner benefits and tools below) and the backing of an established Australian exchange with local support.
How do crypto affiliate programs work?
A crypto affiliate program pays you a commission for introducing new customers to an exchange. You share a unique link or partner page, and when someone signs up and trades through it, the exchange pays you a percentage of the fees they generate. The commission is usually ongoing rather than a one-off payment.
Does signing up through my partner link cost my referred customers more?
No. Customers who join through your partner link pay the same standard trading fees as everyone else. Your commission is a share Digital Surge pays you out of the fees it collects, not an extra charge added to their trades. Referring someone costs them nothing and doesn't change the price they see in-app.
How do I make money with a crypto affiliate program?
You make money by referring customers, not by trading yourself: Digital Surge pays you a share of the net trading fees the people you refer generate. Referrals are attributed automatically through your partner page, so there's nothing to claim manually, and you can watch the running total build in the partner portal as your referred customers trade.
When are affiliate commissions paid?
Digital Surge pays affiliate commissions by the 15th of the following month. Each month's amount is worked out from the net trading fees your referred customers generated that month, then settled to you on that schedule.
Which crypto exchange has the best affiliate program in Australia?
We can't speak for other exchanges, but when comparing crypto affiliate programs it's worth checking a few things: is the exchange AUSTRAC-registered, is support genuinely local, is the commission fair and clearly explained, and are there real tools like an account manager and API? Digital Surge offers all of these. General information only, not a recommendation.
Can businesses, trusts and SMSFs join the affiliate program?
Yes. Individuals, businesses, trusts and self-managed super funds (SMSFs) can all apply as an affiliate partner in their own name, separate from any trading account the entity holds. Your account manager helps set the partnership up under the right entity so commissions are paid to that business or fund. Businesses and funds that also want to trade can open company and business accounts or SMSF accounts.
What is the difference between the affiliate program and refer a friend?
The corporate affiliate program is a formal partnership for people and businesses referring customers at scale, backed by managed partner support and commission tied to referred trading activity. Refer a friend is our simpler consumer program for individuals sharing Digital Surge with people they know. Choose the affiliate program if you have an audience or clients to refer.
