Quotex Affiliate Payout: When, How, and How Much

Quotex pays affiliates weekly, every Thursday, in USD. To qualify for a withdrawal you need at least 10 active referred traders and a balance above the platform's minimum payout threshold. Payments go out through the payment method registered to your partner account, and Quotex requires KYC verification (passport or ID plus proof of address) before releasing funds.

Payout Summary

The 10-Active-Trader Requirement

This is the detail that catches new affiliates off guard. Quotex doesn't release your first payout on balance alone — you need a minimum of 10 traders who registered through your link and are counted as active (meaning they've made a qualifying deposit) before the platform processes any withdrawal.

Practically, this means small or brand-new affiliate accounts with a handful of referrals sit on an accumulating balance they can't touch until the tenth active trader lands. It's a filter against low-effort or single-referral accounts more than a punishment for slow starters, but it does mean your first payout timeline depends on traffic volume, not just calendar time since registration.

Once you clear 10 active traders, this requirement doesn't reset — it's a one-time gate for your account, not a running weekly minimum you have to maintain.

Weekly Payout Schedule

Payments process every Thursday for balances that meet the withdrawal minimum and the active-trader requirement. This is faster than the monthly cycle some competing affiliate programs use, which matters if you're relying on this income to reinvest in traffic (ads, content production, etc.) rather than treating it as passive.

Processing time on top of the Thursday schedule varies by payment method — e-wallet and crypto routes tend to clear faster than bank transfers. Confirm current processing windows for your specific method in the dashboard, since this is exactly the kind of detail that shifts as Quotex adjusts its banking partners.

Payment Methods

Affstore/Quotex partner payouts typically go out through:

Not every method is available in every country. Check your dashboard's payout settings for the options that apply to your registered location before assuming a specific method works for you.

KYC and Verification

Before Quotex processes a payout, you need identity verification on file: a passport or national ID, plus a proof-of-address document such as a recent utility bill or bank statement. This is standard across the online brokerage industry and isn't unique to Quotex — it exists to satisfy anti-money-laundering obligations tied to the operator's licensing.

Submit this documentation early rather than waiting until you're ready to withdraw. Verification review takes time, and a pending KYC check is one of the more common reasons a first payout gets delayed past the expected Thursday.

What to Do If Your Withdrawal Is Delayed

A few things to check before assuming something's wrong:

1. Confirm you've cleared the 10-active-trader threshold — the dashboard shows a live count, and it's the single most common reason a withdrawal doesn't process.
2. Check your KYC status — an incomplete or rejected verification blocks payout regardless of balance.
3. Verify your payment method details are current — an outdated wallet address or bank account number is a common, avoidable delay.
4. Contact your Affstore account manager directly rather than generic support if the issue persists past one payout cycle — partner accounts typically have a dedicated contact for exactly this.

Genuine payout disputes do come up in an industry with this many affiliate programs, and Quotex is not immune to that. Keep records of your referral activity and communication with your account manager so you have something concrete to point to if a payout is contested.
