It pays to be honest
It Paysto Be Honest.
3x as much.
0.45 bps on every dollar your referrals trade, settled instantly as each trade clears, for the life of the account. Not a share of their losses. Not a slice of spread we artificially widened. A flat, transparent rate on the volume you bring.
0.45 bps is the founding rate, locked for life, but only for the first 100 IBs. After that, the rate drops for new partners.

§ 01 / FOUNDATION
Guaranteed accounts. Your traders' money stays theirs.
Every Meridian account is a guaranteed account. Client funds sit isolated, untouchable, and verifiable at all times. We do not custody them. We do not pool them. We cannot freeze them, cannot block a withdrawal, and cannot delay a payout because someone upstairs is having a bad quarter.
Traders can verify their entire market history at any time: every fill, every spread, every commission, on a public record they audit themselves. There is no version of events we control and they do not.
01 · Client Funds
Isolated. Verifiable. Outside our reach.
We do not custody, pool, or hold balances. We cannot freeze accounts or block withdrawals. There is no internal lever that lets us pause a payout.
02 · Your Commission
Settles the same way the account does.
We do not have the ability to withhold it, claw it back, or quietly reduce it. The rate is the rate, the volume is the volume, the payment goes out.
It's not just honesty. It's technology.
We couldn't steal or manipulate trades if we wanted to.
§ 02 / THE NUMBERS

There is no tier you have to hit, no minimum to unlock the rate, no promotional period that ends. Other brokers pay affiliates out of their clients' losses. We pay you out of volume. The rate you earn does not depend on your traders being bad at trading. It depends on them being active, which is what every honest affiliate already wants.
01 · Payout
Paid instantly
The moment your trader's fill clears, your share settles to you, trade by trade, in real time. No monthly close, no waiting on a finance team.
02 · Attribution
Lifetime
A trader you refer is yours for as long as their account is open. Forever. Not 30 days. Not a year.
03 · No clawback
The rate is the rate
Your commission does not shrink when your traders win. It does not shrink when they trade bigger. It does not shrink, period.
§ 03 / NO RESTRICTIONS
Every market. Every strategy. No babysitters.
Other brokers will pitch you on "premium execution" and then close your client's account the first time they scalp news or run a bot. We do not do that. There is literally nothing we could do to stop your traders from running any strategy they want, even if we wanted to. The market is open. That is the whole point.

§ 04 / THE REASON
We want your traders to win.…No more telling your students to "go to support" after their withdrawal gets blocked.
Most retail brokers make money when their clients lose. They are structurally rooting against the people you send them. When a trader starts winning, they become a problem to be managed.
Our model is the opposite. We make money on volume. A profitable trader trades longer, trades bigger, brings their friends, and stays with us for years. That is the most valuable customer in this entire industry, and we have built Meridian around keeping them.
The broker you are sending traders to actually wants them to succeed. Your reputation is not on the line every time one of your referrals figures out how to trade well. Meridian is built for the top 40% of traders, the ones who actually have a chance of being profitable. If your audience is serious, this is where they belong.
We make money when your traders trade. Not when they lose. That is the difference.
§ 05 / YOUR VOICE
We are not going to tell you what to say.
You know your audience. We do not. So we are not handing you a content calendar, an approved-hooks document, or a compliance officer reviewing your posts.
Run a YouTube channel. Run a Telegram signal group. Review prop firms. Teach a strategy we have never heard of. As long as you are honest with your audience about what we actually are, we have no notes.
Marketing assets are available if you want them. They are not required.
§ 06 / WHO IT'S FOR
If you have an audience of serious traders, we want to talk.
- 01Content creators & trading educators
- 02YouTubers, streamers & podcasters in trading and finance
- 03Telegram & Discord community operators
- 04Prop firm reviewers & adjacent voices
- 05Newsletter writers & trading analysts
- 06Signal providers & copy-trading communities
- 07Algo & EA communities
Audience quality matters more than audience size. Sending us 200 traders who actually trade beats sending us 20,000 followers who do not.

ClosingIt really does pay
It really does pay
to be honest.
The existing broker model pays affiliates the least when their traders are doing the best. It punishes the people doing the best work. We built Meridian to flip that. If you have an audience that trades, you are sitting on the most valuable thing in this industry. Send them somewhere that will treat them right, and pay you what you are actually worth.
