Key changes to the program (as of April 2025)
We’ve built a tiering model that provides:
- Benefits to all partner types (Accounting, VC and Services)
- Two clear paths to growth: by total customer referrals or by Client Spend Potential (CSP)

Client Spend Potential (CSP)
You’ve seen CSP referenced throughout this article as an alternate path to grow your tier. Here’s how it works and how Ramp calculates it.
What is it?
Client Spend Potential (CSP) is Ramp’s estimate of the monthly financial impact driven by your referred clients. It’s designed to reward the quality of your referrals—not just the quantity.
How it's calculated:
Client Spend Potential = [Estimated Monthly Card Spend] + ([Estimated Monthly Bill Pay Spend] ÷ 10)
How to view your CSP:
- At launch (April 22): CSP will not appear in your Advisor Console.
- Coming in Q2 2025: You'll see CSP, client impact, and more metrics added to your Console view.
- Curious about your current CSP? Reach out to your partner manager.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts toward client referrals and CSP?
- Customer referrals = clients who became Ramp customers from your referral.
- CSP = the estimated monthly spend across your client book based on Ramp usage potential (through card spend and bill pay).
Can I move tiers mid-quarter?
No—tiers update on a quarterly cadence (Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, Oct 1).
For partners who are measured on trailing 12-month metrics, when am I at risk of losing my tier status?
We have a grace period where no partners will lose tier status before April 1, 2026.
Is Champion status available for all partners?
Currently, it’s exclusive to Accounting Firms. Equivalent recognition for other verticals is being considered.
Where can I track performance?
Your Advisor Console will display your current tier. CSP and more client spend metrics and insights are coming to the console in Q2 2025. If you’d like to know your CSP in the meantime, please reach out to your partner manager.
Where can I get my tier badge?
