Understanding IB and Multi-Agent Commission Workflows
How introducing broker and multi-agent commission structures work, and what to define before automating them.
IB basics
An introducing broker (IB) refers clients to a brokerage and receives a commission according to an agreed plan. The brokerage must attribute each client correctly and calculate commissions consistently.
When several agents are involved
In multi-agent structures, more than one party may be entitled to a share of commission from the same activity — for example a regional partner and a sub-partner. The split rules must be written down clearly before any system can apply them.
An illustrative example
Illustrative only: if a plan pays a total commission per lot and splits it between a master partner and a sub-partner in agreed proportions, the system needs the total, the proportions and the hierarchy to compute each share.
Transparency for partners
A partner portal that shows partners their referrals and commission figures reduces disputes and support load.
