Our pledge, in full

How we make money

Through referral links, and only those: there are no ads, and nobody pays to be listed.

Some product pages have our own link from the bank's or card issuer's refer-a-friend program. If you open an account or are approved for a card through it, the bank may pay us a referral bonus. You get the bonus the bank's referral page states; when that pays more than the public offer, the page shows both, with the bank's own sentence and the day we read it.

Each of these links says so right beside it: "Partner offer: we may be paid if you apply", or "if you open an account".

What could change

Banks and card issuers may also pay us a fee through affiliate programs when someone applies. Those links will be labelled the same way.

We may also license our data to other companies. That's the data you see here, with the same sources.

What never will

  • A payment never changes which products we show, how we sort them, or what we say about them. The code that sorts lists can't see which links pay.
  • Nobody can buy a place on a list, a label or a mention.
  • A product with a paying link keeps the same figures and the same place on every list as one without. Its page adds only the bonus our link carries, from the bank's own page, when it pays you more.

These are part of our pledge.
