Both Sides Get Paid, in USDT
The referral programme pays the person you invite and pays you — a fixed bonus for them on their first exchange, and a share of their volume to you for the two weeks that follow.
The two payouts work differently, and that is the part worth understanding. Your friend's 50 USDT is a fixed, one-time bonus triggered by their first exchange. Your side is a running 0.1% of everything they swap over the next 14 days, so it scales with their activity rather than with how many people you invite.
How a referral pays out
Your friend: 50 USDT
Credited once, after their first completed exchange. It is a flat bonus — the size of that first swap does not change it.
You: 0.1% for 14 days
A share of every exchange that friend makes during the fortnight after their first swap, paid in USDT.
Withdrawal floor: 250 USDT
Earnings accumulate in USDT and can be withdrawn once the balance reaches 250 — the same floor as Loyalty cashback.
The sequence, start to payout
- 1
Get your link from the account. The referral link lives in your Customer Account on SimpleSwap, alongside Loyalty and swap history.
- 2
Your friend signs up and swaps. The 50 USDT is tied to an account, so they need one — even though a plain swap on SimpleSwap does not.
- 3
Their bonus lands after the first exchange. One time, fixed amount.
- 4
Your 0.1% accrues for 14 days. The clock starts at their first swap and runs regardless of how often they come back.
- 5
Withdraw at 250 USDT. Below that the balance keeps accumulating.
How this compares to the other two levers

Questions about referrals
What does my friend get?
A one-time 50 USDT bonus, credited after they complete their first exchange. It is paid once per referred user.
What do I earn as the referrer?
0.1% of your friend's exchange volume for 14 days from their first swap, paid in USDT. After that window the earning stops for that friend.
When can I withdraw referral earnings?
The minimum withdrawal is 250 USDT, the same floor that applies to Loyalty cashback.
Does a referred friend still need an account?
A standard crypto-to-crypto swap on SimpleSwap runs without registration, but the referral bonus is tied to an account, so the friend needs one for the 50 USDT to be credited.
Can I refer myself with a second account?
No. The bonus is structured per referred user and self-referral is outside the terms. The programme conditions on simpleswap.io are the binding version.
