UQPay launches affiliate programme for cross-border payments partners

UQPay has launched a global affiliate programme that pays partners for referred business accounts and gives the referred companies rewards too. The move expands the licensed payments provider’s partner-led growth strategy across Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

Why it matters: - UQPay is opening a new distribution channel for its licensed cross-border payments platform. - The programme could help content creators, media outlets and business communities monetize referrals while directing businesses to a regulated payments provider. - The structure also gives referred businesses a reward, which may improve conversion.

What happened: - UQPay launched the UQPay Affiliate Programme on September 24, 2026. - The programme is open to content creators, industry media, review platforms and business communities worldwide. - Partners earn cash rewards when a referred business opens an account and begins transacting. - The referred business also receives a reward. - The programme is free to join and has no cap on earnings.

The details: - UQPay says the programme is built for partners that reach business audiences covering cross-border commerce, e-commerce and fintech. - Eligible partners include newsletter writers and communities built around founders and finance teams. - Partners refer businesses through a dedicated tracking link. - When a referred business passes verification and starts transacting, both sides are rewarded. - UQPay handles onboarding, verification and account setup. - The partner dashboard includes banners, product one-pagers and approved copy that has been compliance-reviewed. - Performance tracking is available in real time through Impact.com. - Each partner works with a named member of the UQPay marketing team. - UQPay also offers a separate channel partnership track for payment service providers, SaaS and ERP platforms, and financial consultants. - That channel partnership uses ongoing revenue share and individual terms. - Applications are open now at the affiliate application page. - Most applications are reviewed within three business days. - Approved partners receive a dedicated tracking link and access to the creative library.

Between the lines: - The launch formalizes UQPay’s move into partner-led growth beyond paid channels. - The compliance angle is central to the pitch, especially for creators and media brands that rely on trust. - The programme is designed to lower friction for partners who want to refer payments customers without handling the technical side of onboarding.

What's next: - UQPay will start onboarding approved partners as applications are reviewed. - Partners can begin referring once they receive tracking access and creative assets. - The company will likely use partner performance data to refine its go-to-market mix.

The bottom line: - UQPay is betting that a rewards-based affiliate model, paired with regulatory licenses and managed onboarding, can widen its reach in cross-border payments.
