Bridge's referral payout scales with your lifetime cumulative funded volume. Every single deal's percentage portion is capped at $2,500 base, with a small flat bonus on top for higher tiers (max $100). The marketing claim 'Earn up to $2,500 per funded referral' covers the vast majority of deals — the tier bonuses are small enough to round in.
Per-deal formula:
reward = MIN($2,500, funded_amount × tier_percentage) + tier_bonus| Tier | Lifetime range | Rate | Flat bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | $0 – $50K | 1.0% | $0 |
| Silver | $50K – $250K | 1.25% | $25 |
| Gold | $250K – $1M | 1.5% | $75 |
| Platinum | $1M+ | 1.5% | $100 |
Tier is locked in at each deal's funding time based on your cumulative volume BEFORE that deal. Historical deals are NOT re-tiered when you cross thresholds — they pay at the rate they earned. Tier never decreases.
Example: refer a $100,000 deal as Gold → 1.5% × $100,000 = $1,500 + $75 bonus = $1,575 paid out. See the tier-ladder article for more.
