We believe you deserve to know exactly how a money website pays its bills — because that tells you whether you can trust its advice. Here’s ours, in plain terms.
Affiliate commissions
Some of the products we write about have affiliate programs. If you click a link on our site and then take an action — such as applying for a credit card or opening an investment account — we may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra.
Advertising
We may show ads from networks such as Google AdSense. These help support the free content on the site.
The line we never cross
Money changing hands never buys a better review, a higher ranking, or a recommendation. We rank and recommend products on their merits for you — and if the best option for you happens to be one that earns us nothing, that’s the one we’ll tell you about. If we ever can’t be objective about something, we’ll say so.
Why we’re upfront about it
Financial trust is everything. We’d rather earn a little less and keep your trust than the other way around. If you ever have a question about how we make money, email us — we’ll answer honestly.
