MT4 and MT5 IB programme migrated without a single broken referral link
A MENA-region Forex broker migrated their multi-tier IB programme to Cellxpert ahead of a regulatory audit. The click-proxy migration layer kept every legacy referral URL working, and IB reporting closed the loop on rebate disputes.

The challenge
The broker operated a three-tier IB hierarchy on MT4 and MT5 across multiple regulated MENA markets. The existing platform was failing on reporting depth and could not produce audit-grade rebate breakdowns the upcoming regulator review required.
IB confidence was the second risk. Top-tier IBs had built referral networks on the legacy URLs, and any disruption to attribution would translate into commercial harm and partnership churn.
Migration also had to land before the regulatory audit window opened, with the new platform fully producing the rebate, volume, and trader-activity reports the compliance team needed.
The approach
A dedicated Integration Engineer scoped the IB hierarchy in week one, mapping every master IB, sub-IB, and downstream agent into the Cellxpert data model with per-tier rebate logic preserved exactly.
The Cellxpert click-proxy migration layer was deployed to keep every legacy referral URL operational while traffic routed through the new attribution pipeline. IBs did not change a single link.
MT4 and MT5 integration was deployed alongside the legacy reporting, with parallel reconciliation showing the new and old numbers matched to the dollar. Compliance reporting was tested against the regulator's requirements before go-live.
The migration ran on a date the regulator dictated, not one we picked. Cellxpert delivered the cutover with continuous IB attribution and zero broken referral links. Our compliance team had reports ready for the audit a week before it started.
The outcomes
Migration completed in six weeks, two weeks before the regulatory audit window opened.
Every legacy IB referral URL continued to function from the day Cellxpert went live. Top-tier IBs reported the cutover felt invisible.
Three-tier IB hierarchy fully modelled with real-time rebate calculation across all tiers, replacing the end-of-day batch the legacy platform produced.
Compliance reports for the regulator delivered seven days ahead of the audit. The audit closed with no findings related to partnership reporting.
