ClickBank is a leading affiliate marketing network with thousands of digital products and some of the highest commission rates in the industry. Bangladeshi affiliates on ClickBank are required to provide a Tax Identification Number. Without an ITIN, ClickBank withholds 30% of your earnings before payment. An ITIN solves this in 8–14 weeks.
ClickBank's Tax ID Requirements
ClickBank processes US-source income and is required by the IRS to collect tax information from all affiliates. For non-US affiliates like Bangladeshi nationals, ClickBank requests a W-8BEN form with your ITIN. Without it, ClickBank applies backup withholding — typically 30% — on all commission payments.
This requirement applies regardless of your commission rate. Even if you're earning 75% commissions on a high-ticket product, 30% goes back as withholding without your ITIN.
Updating Your ClickBank Tax Information
Once you have your ITIN, the update is simple:
- Log in to your ClickBank account
- Go to Account Settings → Tax Form
- Select W-8BEN (for non-US individuals)
- Enter your ITIN in the TIN field
- Complete and submit the form
ClickBank processes the update and stops withholding on future payments. Historical withholding that was already applied cannot be reversed, so getting your ITIN as early as possible maximizes your affiliate income.
ClickBank Payment Options for Bangladeshis
ClickBank supports international wire transfer and check payments. For Bangladeshi affiliates, international wire transfer is the preferred method. You can receive payments to a US bank account (via Mercury or Relay through your US LLC) or directly to your Bangladeshi bank, depending on ClickBank's supported countries for your account region.
Many successful Bangladeshi ClickBank affiliates operate through a US LLC for more reliable payment infrastructure and access to Stripe for their own product launches.
