BWMarketplace is an independent financial-product comparison site. To keep our content free, we participate in affiliate and advertising programs with banks, credit-card issuers, lenders, brokerages, and insurance providers. This page explains exactly how that works, in line with the U.S. FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255).
How we make money
When you click a link on our Site and complete an action with one of our partners, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that partner. The amount varies by product and partner.
How this affects what you see
- Some products on the Site are from advertisers and we are compensated when you engage with them.
- Compensation may influence the order in which products appear in some lists, but it does not influence our editorial ratings, reviews, or scoring methodology.
- We include products from providers we are not compensated by when those products are competitive — see our Editorial Standards.
- Star ratings and "BW Score" values are determined by our editorial team using a documented methodology, independent of advertiser relationships.
Networks and partners we work with
We participate in affiliate programs operated by, among others: CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), Partnerize, Credible, and direct issuer programs. We may add or remove partners at any time without notice.
What we don't do
- We don't accept payment to write positive reviews.
- We don't sell your personal information to advertisers.
- We don't display products we believe are predatory or harmful, even if compensated.
Accuracy of information
Product details and partner offerings change frequently. The official terms provided by the issuer or provider always control. Verify all details on the partner's site before taking action.
