About Kraken Affiliates Program

Welcome to the Kraken Affiliate Program. You can get paid 20% of the fees we collect from a referred client (up to $1,000 USD for each client referred). You get paid for as long as the referral remains a client. We constructed our program this way because we truly believe in growing the market long term. This is a huge difference from any other programs which might pay you a higher percentage, but only cover the first 3 months or first year of the clients’ activity. The data shows that most clients are active well beyond the first year.

Kraken Affiliates Program is one of the largest and oldest Bitcoin exchanges in the world. They are consistently named one of the best places to buy and sell crypto online. Thanks to excellent service, low fees, versatile funding options and rigorous security standards — but this is only part of the story. We’ve been on the forefront of the blockchain revolution since 2011.
