Affiliate Disclosure

How we make money

We provide provider comparisons, educational content, and free crypto tools. We earn revenue through two disclosed channels: Affiliate commissions and Sponsored placements. Both allow us to keep the site free for all visitors. Provider rankings are produced by our internal methodology.

What is an affiliate link?

An affiliate link is a specially tagged URL that tells a provider you arrived through the site. If you open an account after following one of these links, the provider may pay us a referral fee. This is standard practice across financial comparison sites and review publications.

Affiliate links are used on provider review pages, comparison tables, category hubs, and quiz result pages.

No cost to you

Opening an account through an affiliate link never adds costs to your fees. Your trading fees, spreads, account terms, and service conditions are identical whether you reach the provider through our link, a different referral source, or directly.

Sponsored placements and advertising

We sell clearly labelled advertising placements on provider comparison pages, category hubs, and quiz results. Sponsored placements are visually distinct from organic results: they appear with a highlighted card and a Sponsored Label so you always know which listings are paid.

How sponsorships work

  • Per market and per language. Advertisers select specific markets and languages for their placements.
  • Advertiser self-service. Ad placements are managed via a dedicated advertising platform.
  • Limited slots. We limit the number of sponsored placements per page to ensure organic results remain prominent and discoverable.

Types of compensation

  • Cost per acquisition (CPA) A one-time fee charged when you open and fund an account via our affiliate link.
  • Revenue share. A percentage of the provider's revenue generated by referred accounts over a defined period.
  • Cost per click (CPC) A fixed payment per visitor who clicks through to the provider's website.
  • Flat sponsorship fee. A fixed periodic fee for display ad placement.
  • Hybrid models. A combination of the above, negotiated on a per-provider basis.

Compensation arrangements vary by provider and by market. Not every provider listed on the site has a commercial relationship with us.

How We Identify Affiliate Content

  • Footer disclosure. Every page on the site includes a disclosure stating that certain links are affiliate links and that we may earn a commission.
  • Sponsored labels. Every sponsored provider card carries a visible Sponsored Label that distinguishes it from organic results.
