Editor's verdict

Betterment's affiliate program runs on Impact and is managed by the agency Acceleration Partners. The published base rate is a $50 CPA for each account that is opened and funded, with a 30-day cookie. It fits US personal finance publishers, review and comparison sites, and loyalty or sub-affiliate networks, which are the partner types Acceleration Partners lists as approved.

Consumers must be in the US, so international traffic earns nothing. Payout threshold, payment schedule and a full traffic policy are not published outside the Impact contract. Betterment also runs a separate customer refer-a-friend scheme with its own disclosure rules. Do not confuse the two.
