Affiliate Disclosure

Forex Broker Rating is committed to full transparency about how this website generates revenue and how our commercial relationships are structured. This page clearly and honestly explains our affiliate arrangements.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a commercial arrangement in which a website earns a commission when a user clicks a link on the site and subsequently completes a qualifying action, here, opening a trading account with a broker.

When you click certain links on Forex Broker Rating and open a trading account with a broker through that link, we may receive a referral fee from that broker. This is how many independent review and comparison websites, including major financial publications, generate revenue to fund their research and editorial operations.

2. How We Make Money

Forex Broker Rating earns revenue primarily through affiliate referral commissions. When you open a trading account with a broker by clicking an affiliate link on this website, the broker pays us a fee. This fee is paid by the broker, not by you. It does not affect the price you pay, the account terms you receive, or the trading conditions offered to you. Your cost is the same whether you arrive at a broker directly or through our website.

We may also earn revenue through fixed-fee arrangements with brokers for content placement or featured listings. When this occurs, it is explicitly disclosed on the relevant page.

We do not earn revenue from subscription fees, paywalls, or data sales. We do not sell your personal information to brokers or any other third party.

3. Which Brokers Do We Have Affiliate Relationships With

We have affiliate relationships with a number of the brokers featured on this website. These relationships vary; some brokers pay us a commission per account opened, others pay a fixed fee, and some on this site generate no affiliate revenue for us.

We do not disclose the specific commission rates we receive from individual brokers because they are subject to confidentiality agreements. However, we clearly disclose the existence of every affiliate relationship at the point of use, on broker cards, on our listing pages, and on individual broker review pages.

Brokers with which we have an affiliate relationship are identified by the presence of a "Visit broker" or "Open account" button with the rel="nofollow sponsored" attribute. This is the standard web convention for identifying sponsored or affiliate links, and it is also the signal used by search engines to identify commercial links.

When we review brokers with whom we have no affiliate relationship, we research and rate them to the same exacting standard. The absence of an affiliate link on a broker page does not indicate lower quality; it simply means we do not currently have a commercial arrangement with that broker.

4. How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content

They do not. Our editorial scores, ratings, rankings, and review content are produced independently of our commercial relationships. This is not a claim we make lightly; it is a commitment we maintain through specific structural safeguards:

• •Scoring integrity: Every broker is scored using our published methodology, applied consistently, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with that broker. A broker's affiliate commission rate does not affect its score.
• •No paid rankings: Brokers cannot pay to appear higher in our listings. Our default ranking is by overall score, calculated using our methodology. Users can re-sort by safety, fees, minimum deposit, or other criteria.
• •No paid reviews: We do not charge brokers for reviews on this website, and we do not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage.
• •No editorial approval: Brokers do not have the right to review, amend, or approve content published about them before or after publication.
• •No suppression of negative findings: If a broker has a regulatory fine, a high complaint rate, or poor trading conditions, we report it accurately regardless of our commercial relationship with that broker. Affiliate income is never a reason to omit or soften negative findings.
• •Separation of functions: The analysts who produce our reviews are not involved in negotiating or managing affiliate partnerships. Commercial and editorial teams operate independently.

5. Why We Use Affiliate Links

Producing independent broker research is expensive. Verifying regulatory status, testing platforms, monitoring fee changes, and maintaining a database of hundreds of brokers requires significant ongoing investment of time and resources.

Affiliate commissions allow us to fund this research without charging readers, introducing paywalls, or compromising our editorial independence by accepting broker payments for content. When operated transparently and with genuine editorial independence, the affiliate model is the standard funding mechanism for credible financial comparison websites worldwide.

We believe that hiding our commercial relationships or pretending we have none would be far more damaging to our readers than full disclosure of the arrangements we have.

6. Your Choices

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You can:

• •Visit any broker's website directly by typing their URL into your browser
• •Use our reviews and data for research without clicking our affiliate links
• •Decline to open an account with any broker we feature

Our content is designed to help you make a better decision, not to pressure you into opening an account. If you find our research useful and choose to open an account through one of our links, we genuinely appreciate it, as it helps fund our ongoing work. But there is no obligation whatsoever.

7. Regulatory Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, which require that material connections between a content publisher and the products or companies it recommends are disclosed clearly and conspicuously.

It is also consistent with the UK Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) Code requirements for identifying paid-for content and affiliate relationships, the FCA's financial promotion guidance, and equivalent advertising standards regulations in other jurisdictions where our content is accessed.

We are committed to maintaining compliance with applicable disclosure requirements in all jurisdictions where this website is used.

8. Questions and Feedback

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, if you believe a commercial relationship has not been disclosed correctly, or if you have concerns about how our commercial arrangements may have influenced our content, please contact us.

We take these concerns seriously. If you can point to a specific instance in which you believe our affiliate relationships have compromised our editorial content, we want to hear about it and will investigate and respond honestly.
