Affiliate Disclosure
How we make money
We provide broker comparisons, educational content, and free investor tools. We earn revenue through two disclosed channels: Affiliate commissions and Sponsored placements. Both allow us to keep the site free for all visitors. Broker rankings are produced by our internal methodology.
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a uniquely identified web address that informs a broker that you visited via our website. If you open an account after clicking such a link, the broker may compensate us with a referral commission. This is standard industry practice among financial comparison platforms and review publications.
Affiliate links are used on broker review pages, comparison tables, category hubs, and quiz result pages.
No cost to you
Opening an account via an affiliate link does not increase your trading costs. Your fees, spreads, account terms, and trading conditions remain the same regardless of whether you access the broker through our link, another referral source, or directly.
Sponsored placements and advertising
We offer clearly labeled advertising placements on broker comparison pages, category hubs, and quiz result pages. Sponsored placements are visually distinct from organic results: they appear as highlighted cards with 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 broker's revenue generated by referred accounts over a defined period.
- Cost per click (CPC) A fixed fee for each visitor who clicks through to the broker's website.
- Flat sponsorship fee. A fixed periodic fee for display ad placement.
- Hybrid models. A combination of the above, negotiated on a per-broker basis.
Compensation arrangements vary by broker and by market. Not every broker 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 broker card carries a visible Sponsored Label that distinguishes it from organic results.
