Our position today
As of September 2026
As of September 2026, Trading Guide is self-funded and does not receive compensation, referral fees, or affiliate commissions from financial providers featured on the site. Our research and comparisons are produced using our published methodology.
Our business model
To help fund the research, tools, and comparisons while keeping Trading Guide free to use, we may enter selected commercial partnerships in the future.
Some provider links may become affiliate or referral links once a commercial partnership is active.
If you sign up or complete an eligible action, the provider may pay Trading Guide a referral commission.
Trading Guide does not add a fee for using an affiliate link. Provider pricing, eligibility, offers, and terms are set by the provider and should be checked directly.
Editorial separation
If commercial relationships are introduced, we intend to keep them separate from the research and editorial decisions that shape Trading Guide.
A commercial relationship does not determine whether a provider is eligible to be researched or included.
Providers do not determine the facts, sources, verification status, or research findings we publish.
Commercial relationships do not determine the default alphabetical order used in our comparison experiences.
Commercial partners do not write, approve, or control our independent editorial content.
Clear labelling
If Trading Guide introduces sponsored content or paid advertising placements, we will identify them clearly near the relevant placement. For more detail about commercial links and disclosures, read our affiliate disclosure.
