Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 15, 2025
In the interest of full transparency: Finance Daily may earn a commission when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you and helps support our mission to provide free financial education.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase from our partner companies. These links look like regular links but contain a unique identifier that tells the merchant that you came from our website.
When you use an affiliate link, the price you pay remains exactly the same as if you had visited the merchant directly. The commission we receive comes from the merchant's marketing budget, not from your pocket.
How We Use Affiliate Links
Finance Daily participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on products and services we recommend. These may include:
- Financial products (credit cards, bank accounts, investment platforms)
- Budgeting and personal finance software
- Books and educational courses
- Insurance products
- Tax preparation services
- Other financial tools and resources

Our Editorial Standards
We want to be absolutely clear about our editorial process:
Honest Reviews
Our reviews and recommendations are based on genuine research and analysis. We never recommend products solely because they offer higher commissions.
Reader-First Approach
Your financial well-being is our top priority. We only recommend products and services we believe will genuinely help our readers.
Full Transparency
We clearly disclose when content contains affiliate links. You'll often see phrases like "affiliate link" or "we may earn a commission" near such links.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is created independently of our business partnerships. Advertisers and affiliate partners have no influence over our editorial decisions.
Amazon Associates Disclosure
Finance Daily is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Advertising Disclosure
In addition to affiliate links, Finance Daily displays advertisements through Google AdSense and other advertising networks. These ads are clearly distinguishable from our editorial content and are labeled as "Advertisement" or "Sponsored."
The presence of advertisements does not influence our editorial content or recommendations. We maintain a strict separation between advertising and editorial functions.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a quality financial education website requires significant resources. Affiliate commissions and advertising revenue help us:
- Keep our content free and accessible to everyone
- Pay our writers and editors for quality content
- Maintain and improve our website
- Research and review new financial products
- Continue our mission of financial education
Your Choice
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can:
- Navigate directly to the merchant's website
- Search for the product or service independently
- Use a different provider altogether
However, if you find our content helpful and want to support our work, using our affiliate links is a great way to do so at no extra cost to you.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We are committed to full compliance with FTC guidelines regarding affiliate marketing and sponsored content.
