IC Markets referral link and partner code: what it is and what you get

By Akash· Published 23 Oct 2026· Facts checked on IC Markets's own site on 23 Oct 2026 (UTC)· 3 min read

Short answer

Our IC Markets referral link only tells IC Markets who referred you. You get the same account, the same prices and the same protection as signing up directly, and there is no bonus from us.

Search "IC Markets referral code" and you will find pages promising bonuses, rebates or "exclusive" codes. Here is what a referral link really does, in plain words, so you can decide whether to use one.

What an IC Markets referral link is

Brokers like IC Markets run partner programmes. A partner gets a link or a code; when someone opens an account through it, IC Markets records the partner as the referrer and may pay the partner a fee. That is all our link does. It is IC Markets that pays us, not you: our link adds no charge to your trades. (Some partners elsewhere use marked-up accounts with wider spreads; compare any account you are offered with IC Markets's own published prices.)

What you get, and what you do not

Same account and prices: the account types, spreads and commission are IC Markets's own published ones (Raw Spread (MetaTrader), Raw Spread (cTrader / TradingView), Standard, Swap Free; Raw Pro and Raw Pro+ in early access). IC Markets's spreads: "0.0 pips (Raw Spread); 0.8 pips (Standard)".
Same protection: your protection depends on the IC Markets company that holds your account, not on the link.
No bonus from us: we offer no bonus, reward or gift for using our link. Pages that promise one are not IC Markets's offer; check IC Markets's own site before you believe it.
No code to type: you do not need a partner code to open an IC Markets account. Signing up directly is always an option.

Which IC Markets company our link opens

Which IC Markets company opens your account depends on where you live. If you live in the EU, the UK, Australia, South Africa, Kenya, the UAE or Qatar, our link only goes to an IC Markets entity licensed for your country, and where there is none we show no link. We show no sign-up links at all in countries where promoting offshore brokers is not allowed.
