Affiliate Business Referrals

An affiliate program is a revenue sharing program where the affiliate (that’s you) drives traffic to a merchant’s web site (that’s us) in exchange for referral commissions. You can post online about Credit Strong on your website and when your visitor clicks your affiliate link to sign up and satisfies their first payment, you get a commission for that customer referral.

We have partnered with TUNE to provide our affiliates with tracking, reporting, and prompt monthly payments.

Once your application is accepted, you will be given a unique affiliate ID as well as a unique link that will ensure that traffic coming from your site is properly tracked. We maintain a 3 month cookie, meaning that if a visitor clicks on a link from your site, you are credited with the sale as long as the visitor makes their first payment within 3 months of the initial click.

TUNE records all transactions from your site in real time, meaning that all impressions, clicks, and sales are tracked instantly. Your affiliate portal has all of the reports and tracking resources you’ll need to see how you’re doing. You can use these reports to find out which of your links are performing the best and to optimize your site for maximum sales.

Credit Strong affiliates will be paid out once their referral signs their contract on their loan for business accounts.

A Credit Strong Business credit builder account is the combination of a cash secured commercial installment loan and a commercial savings bank account. At origination, the funds from the loan are deposited into the savings account as collateral for the loan and a lock is placed on the savings account for the life of the loan. The loan and payment activity for the loan are reported to commercial credit bureaus, building the credit profile for your business.

During the life of your loan a lock is placed on the commercial savings account to secure the loan and the money in the savings account is not available for withdrawal. At maturity of the loan, or when the loan is closed and paid off, the lock is removed and the funds in the savings account are available to you.
