About Affiliate Accounts

Running a business means constantly balancing cash flow while keeping your team motivated. What if you could reward your best employees without touching your cash reserves? That's exactly what Tradebank Affiliate Accounts let you do.

What Are Affiliate Accounts?

Think of Affiliate Accounts as individual Tradebank accounts for your employees that you control and fund. Each employee gets their own trade account, Tradebank card, and access to myTradebank.com – but you decide when and how much to transfer from your main account to theirs.

Smart Ways to Use Affiliate Accounts

Employee Compensation

• Monthly or quarterly bonuses
• Sales contest prizes
• Year-end rewards
• Performance incentives

Practical Benefits

• Pay salaries or partial salaries in trade dollars
• Recognize outstanding work without cash outlays
• Give employees access to the entire Tradebank network for personal use

The Setup Process (It's Really This Simple!)

1. Log into myTradebank.com
2. Navigate to Manage My Account → Account Information → Affiliates
3. Click the link to add a new affiliate
4. Complete the setup form
5. Transfer a minimum of T$100 to activate the account

Cost to you: No upfront setup fees, but standard brokerage fees apply when you transfer trade dollars to affiliate accounts.

What Your Employees Get

• Their own digital Tradebank card for easy spending
• Full access to myTradebank.com and the mobile app
• Ability to browse and purchase from thousands of businesses
• Complete account separation – they have their own independent Tradebank account and cannot access or view any information about your business account

Important Details to Remember

Your Control: You decide when and how much to transfer. Employees can only spend what you've allocated to their accounts.

Tax Responsibility: You and your employee are responsible for handling payroll taxes on any trade dollars used as compensation – just like you would with cash bonuses.

Minimum Transfer: You'll need to transfer at least T$100 to establish each new affiliate account.

Why This Works

Instead of cutting into your cash flow for employee rewards, you're using trade credits you've already earned. Your employees get real value they can use throughout the Tradebank network, and you maintain the cash you need for other business expenses.
