Two ways to benefit

Your recommendation. Two clear rewards.

Whether you introduce a new client household or someone interested in investment property, the two models have different qualification and tracking processes.

01 / New client referral€60

One-time reward per eligible new client household. For existing clients, the standard referral process runs through the official customer portal, referral link or QR code.

The referred household must become a qualifying new client; one household counts as one referral.

02 / Investment property referral€500

Reward per eligible investment property purchased. Introduce someone who subsequently buys an investment property through the German Sherpa real estate network.

Currently handled by individual coordination and manual attribution; eligibility and payment are agreed in advance.

No upfront sponsorship payment. Referral rewards depend on qualification, the applicable agreement and legal/regulatory requirements. For clubs, organisations and other partners, tracking and conditions are agreed separately.

What your contacts gain

A guide through Germany’s financial system.

We make complicated decisions easier to understand without treating everyone’s situation the same.

  • Health insurance, liability and income protection
  • Investments, retirement and long-term planning
  • Property financing and real estate-related questions
  • Financial considerations for families and international professionals

Individual advice is provided by the appropriately authorised German Sherpa advisers, not by referral partners.

How the program works

Three straightforward steps.

The €60 client-referral process uses the official customer portal. The €500 property-referral process is currently coordinated individually, so we agree on attribution before the introduction.

01 / CONNECT

Choose your referral path

Existing clients use their official customer portal for €60 referrals. For a €500 property recommendation or an organisation partnership, contact us first to agree on the process.

02 / INTRODUCE

Make the introduction

Use the app link or QR code for client referrals. Property introductions follow the individually agreed route. Your contact decides whether to engage with German Sherpa.

03 / FOLLOW UP

Receive €60 or €500

€60 applies to an eligible new client household; €500 applies to an eligible completed investment property purchase. Each is paid according to its respective conditions.

Important: Participation, referral tracking and any reward require prior agreement. Referral partners do not provide regulated financial or insurance advice on behalf of German Sherpa.

Depending on the relationship and applicable law, certain referrals or payments may be restricted, require additional checks or be unavailable. Never share another person’s contact details without an appropriate legal basis or their permission.

Why German Sherpa

Built on clarity and long-term relationships.

We focus on making financial topics understandable for people whose lives and careers cross borders.

German Sherpa brings together expat-focused financial guidance across insurance, investments, retirement and home financing.

Our goal is to help clients understand their options, ask better questions and take thoughtful next steps — not to pressure them into a product.

Let’s talk partnerships

€60 for a client. €500 for a property.

Already a client? Use your customer portal for the standard €60 referral. For an investment property recommendation, club or other partner collaboration, contact us to agree on eligibility and attribution.

Program information is indicative and is not a binding offer. The €60 and €500 models are distinct, and any reward depends on its applicable process, qualifying conditions, attribution, any necessary agreement and legal/regulatory requirements. This page does not provide individual legal, tax or financial advice.
