Chapter CH-05 ib-management / Cyprus
The affiliate side of operator economics. IB management tracks introducer relationships, multi-tier rebate structures, sub-IB attribution, and clawback workflows - the audit trail CySEC scrutinizes alongside MiFID II reporting. 10 vendors split between IB-pure specialists (Cellxpert leads on broker client roster; Affise leads on published pricing; Tracknow on Cyprus fit; Track360 on prop-tech integration) and CRM-bundled IB modules.
