Rewards may be paid by ACH, gift card, prepaid card, or another available method.
- $500 referrer reward is paid after your referral is formally approved for funding through Advance Funds Network’s underwriting process.
- $500 referral reward is paid to the referred business only if they complete funding (sign and receive funds).
- Rewards are paid once per referred customer. Future funding for the same customer does not generate additional rewards.
- Only new customers qualify. You must submit the referral before they apply on their own or are already in our system.
- Rewards may be paid via ACH, gift cards, prepaid cards, or other payout methods we offer, typically within 1–14 business days after approval (referrer) or funding (referred business).
- You must provide accurate contact and payment information to receive your reward.
To protect your referral’s privacy, we will not share their specific approval amount, loan terms, or financial details with you—only whether they were approved and whether you earned a reward. AFN will only contact a referred business directly if they submit their information to us and consent to be contacted.
