Affiliate Disclosure

Our Affiliate Relationships

FinanceCompare is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or take a specific action, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

We believe in transparency and want you to understand how we operate. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn revenue, and how this affects the content we provide.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

When you click on an affiliate link on our website:

1. You are redirected to the financial service provider's website (e.g., insurance company, bank, trading platform)
2. If you complete a purchase, application, or sign-up through that link, the provider pays us a commission
3. You pay the same price you would pay if you visited the provider directly - there is no additional cost to you
4. The commission helps us maintain and improve our website, create more content, and provide free tools and comparisons

Important: The commission we receive does not increase the price you pay. The financial service provider pays us a portion of their marketing budget, which they would have spent on advertising anyway.

Editorial Independence

Our reviews and comparisons are independent and unbiased. We maintain strict editorial independence and do not allow affiliate relationships to influence our content, rankings, or recommendations.

Here's how we ensure editorial integrity:

• Objective Analysis: We evaluate products and services based on features, pricing, customer service, and user value, not commission rates
• Comprehensive Comparisons: We compare multiple providers, not just those with affiliate programs
• Honest Reviews: We highlight both strengths and weaknesses of products and services
• User-First Approach: Our primary goal is to help you make informed decisions, not to maximize commissions
• Regular Updates: We regularly review and update our content to ensure accuracy and relevance

We only recommend products and services that we believe provide genuine value to our users, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the provider.

Our Affiliate Partners

We have affiliate relationships with various financial service providers in India, including:

• Insurance Companies: Policybazaar and various insurance providers
• Banks: HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI, Axis Bank, and other leading banks
• Trading Platforms: Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, Angel One, and other SEBI-registered brokers
• Financial Service Providers: Bajaj Finserv, Muthoot Finance, and other NBFCs
• Comparison Platforms: Various financial comparison and aggregator platforms

This list is not exhaustive and may change over time. We may add or remove affiliate partners as we continue to improve our platform and expand our offerings.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

We make every effort to clearly identify affiliate links on our website:

• Affiliate links are typically found in "Compare Plans," "Apply Now," "Get Started," or similar call-to-action buttons
• We include an affiliate disclosure in our footer on every page
• This dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page provides comprehensive information about our relationships
• External affiliate links open in a new tab and may include tracking parameters

If you're unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, you can always visit the provider's website directly without using our links. You'll pay the same price, but we won't receive a commission.

No Additional Cost to You

Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The prices, rates, fees, and terms you receive are exactly the same as if you visited the provider's website directly.

The commission we receive comes from the provider's marketing budget, not from your pocket. In fact, by using our comparison tools and guides, you may save money by finding better deals and understanding your options more clearly.

Why We Use Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing allows us to:

• Keep Our Services Free: All our comparison tools, calculators, guides, and content are free to use
• Maintain Independence: We don't need to charge users or rely solely on advertising revenue
• Improve Our Platform: Revenue helps us add new features, improve existing tools, and create more content
• Stay Updated: We can regularly update information, rates, and comparisons
• Provide Value: We can focus on creating helpful content rather than maximizing ad revenue

Without affiliate revenue, we would need to either charge users for access or rely heavily on advertising, which could compromise the user experience and our editorial independence.

Your Choice

You have complete freedom to choose how you interact with financial service providers:

• You can use our affiliate links to support our work (at no cost to you)
• You can visit provider websites directly without using our links
• You can use our comparison tools and guides without clicking any affiliate links
• You can contact providers directly through their official channels

We respect your choice and are committed to providing value regardless of whether you use our affiliate links. Our primary goal is to help you make informed financial decisions.
