Refer a friend

Refer a friend.
Earn together.

Your opportunity to earn rewards by sharing a transparent loan investment platform with the people you trust.

How it works

Refer in simple steps

1

Invite and Earn

Share Hive5 with friends who'd benefit from passive income through P2P lending. Just ask them to mention your name or email at sign-up.

2

Friend invests

Your friend signs up, mentions you, and makes their first investments within 90 days. The amount determines your tier — from Starter to Elite.

3

Both get paid

The Welcome Bonus lands in both wallets once funds are allocated to active loans. Performance and milestone rewards follow.

Part 1 — Welcome Bonus

The more they invest the more you earn

Awarded once, when your friend funds their account within 90 days of registering. Both of you get rewarded — and the referrer's share scales faster.

Tier Friend's first investments within 90 days Referrer reward Friend reward
Starter
€500 – 999.99 €30 €20
Bronze
€1,000 – 2,499.99 €60 €40
Silver
€2,500 – 4,999.99 €125 €75
Gold
€5,000 – 9,999.99 €225 €125
Platinum
€10,000 – 24,999.99 1.5% no cap 1.0% cap €1,000
Diamond
€25,000 – 49,999.99 1.75% no cap 1.0% cap €1,000
Elite
€50,000+ 2.0% no cap 1.0% cap €1,000

Your friend must mention you within 30 days of signing up. After that, the referral can no longer be credited.

Part 2 - Milestone Bonuses

Annual rewards for our most active referrers

Throughout each calendar year, your friends' combined active investments add up toward a milestone bonus. Bonuses are paid every January 5 for the previous year.

Connector
€5,000 combined
+ €150

Your first milestone — a reward for getting started.

Ambassador
€15,000 combined
+ €400

For referrers growing their network year-round.

Champion
€50,000 combined
+ €1,000

A bigger reward for top-tier referrers who reach significant milestones.

Legend
€200,000 combined
+ €3,500

The highest milestone — for our most committed referrers.

*The combined amount is the total portfolio value of all your referred friends at the end of the calendar year (December 31) — including both invested funds and uninvested cash in their accounts. Bonuses are paid on January 5 of the following year.

The Rules

Program terms and conditions

Clear, fair, and easy to follow. By participating in the Refer a Friend program you agree to the following.

01

Eligibility

To participate as a referrer, you must be a fully verified (KYC-completed) Hive5 account holder aged 18+.

02

Friend eligibility

A friend qualifies only if they are a new Hive5 user, mention you within 30 days of signing up, and have not previously held an account.

03

First-investment window

The qualifying first investments must be made within 90 calendar days of registration.

04

Welcome bonus calculation

Tier and reward are determined by the total invested during the first 90 days after registration. Investments made later do not retroactively upgrade the tier.

05

Allocation requirement

Funds must be allocated to active investments for at least 30 days before bonuses are released.

06

Milestone evaluation

Calculated per calendar year (1 January – 31 December) and paid out on 5 January of the following year, in EUR.

07

Tax

Bonuses may be subject to taxation in the recipient's jurisdiction. Each participant is responsible for declaring and paying any taxes owed.

08

No abuse

Self-referrals, multi-account schemes, fake or coerced sign-ups will result in forfeiture of bonuses and suspension.

09

Investment risk

Participation does not reduce the inherent risks of investing through Hive5. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

10

Withdrawals

The Welcome Bonus is final and will not be reversed if your friend later withdraws their funds. However, withdrawn amounts no longer count toward your 12-month Milestone Bonus — only funds active at the time of evaluation are included.

11

Same household and payment methods

Referrals between users sharing the same household or payment method (bank account, card) may be flagged for review and disqualified. If we determine that accounts are linked to the same individual or coordinated to extract bonuses, all related bonuses will be reversed and accounts may be suspended.

12

Promotion guidelines

Referrers may share Hive5 through personal channels such as messaging, email, and social posts. The following are not permitted: paid advertising using Hive5's brand, mass unsolicited messaging (spam), misleading claims about returns or guarantees, and impersonating Hive5 staff. Violations may result in disqualification from the program and forfeiture of accrued bonuses.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How soon will I receive the Welcome Bonus?

The Welcome Bonus is credited to both accounts once your friend's investments (made within 90 days of registration) have been allocated to active loans for at least 30 days. You'll receive an email notification when the bonus lands in your wallet.

Is there a limit on how many friends I can refer?

No. There is no limit on how many friends you can refer. The more active friends you bring in, the more you earn — both through Welcome Bonuses and Milestone tiers.

What if my friend deposits in multiple instalments?

The Welcome Bonus tier is based on the total amount your friend invests within the first 90 days of registration. This can be one large investment or several smaller ones — they all add up. Investments made after the 90-day window won't upgrade your Welcome Bonus tier, but they will still count toward your Milestone Bonus.

Can I withdraw the bonus immediately?

Yes. Bonuses are credited as cash to your Hive5 wallet and can be withdrawn or reinvested at your discretion, subject to standard platform withdrawal terms.

What happens if my friend withdraws their deposit?

The Welcome Bonus becomes final once the 30-day allocation requirement is met — even if your friend later withdraws their funds, the bonus stays with you. The Milestone Bonus works differently: it's calculated on the active portfolio value at the end of the calendar year, so withdrawn amounts no longer count toward it.
