Buncto believes in full transparency about how we fund this publication. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and what they mean for you as a reader.
How Buncto Earns Revenue
Buncto is a free resource. We earn revenue primarily through affiliate relationships with financial product providers. When you click certain links on our site and take a qualifying action (such as opening an account or submitting an application), we may receive a referral fee from the product provider.
This fee is paid by the provider, not by you. Clicking an affiliate link does not increase the cost of any product or service, and it does not affect the terms you receive.
What Products May Have Affiliate Links
Affiliate links may appear on pages that discuss the following types of products:
- Bank accounts and neobank accounts
- Credit cards and secured credit cards
- High yield savings accounts and money market accounts
- Credit builder loans and credit monitoring services
- Budgeting and personal finance apps
- Investment platforms and robo-advisors
- Buy now pay later services
- Payment and money transfer apps
Not every product mentioned on Buncto has an affiliate link. We cover products that do not have affiliate programs when they are relevant to the topic.
How We Identify Affiliate Links
Pages that contain affiliate links include a visible disclosure notice near the top of the article. The notice states clearly that the page contains affiliate links and that Buncto may earn a referral fee.
What Affiliate Relationships Do Not Affect
Our affiliate relationships have no influence on:
- Which products we cover. We choose topics based on reader relevance and informational value, not based on whether an affiliate program exists.
- How we rank or compare products. Product comparisons are based on features, fees, terms, and our firsthand testing. Affiliate status does not affect placement or ranking.
- Our recommendations. If a product is not worth using, we say so regardless of whether it has an affiliate program. If a non-affiliate product is the better choice, we recommend it.
- Factual accuracy. Our research methodology applies equally to all products, whether or not they are affiliated.
Your Choice
You are never required to use an affiliate link. If you prefer, you can navigate directly to any product provider’s website by typing their URL into your browser. The product and terms will be the same.
Using our affiliate links is one way to support Buncto’s independent research at no cost to you.
