📢 Affiliate Disclosure

Welcome to GBWise! We believe in complete transparency with our readers. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we may earn compensation when you use links on our website.

Our core promise: We will always provide honest, unbiased information regardless of any affiliate relationships. Your trust is more important than any commission.

This disclosure is part of our commitment to comply with:

• UK Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008
• CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) guidelines on endorsements and reviews
• ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) CAP Code
• FCA guidelines on financial promotions

Affiliate links are special URLs that contain tracking codes. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission from the provider.

This is a standard practice across the internet and how many websites (including major publishers) fund their operations while keeping content free for users.

The cookie is completely anonymous and does not collect any personal information about you.

We work with a variety of trusted partners in the UK financial services industry. These include:

We also work with affiliate networks including AWIN, Impact, Rakuten, and Commission Junction who connect us with additional partners.

This list is not exhaustive and may change over time as we add new partners.

In fact, we often include exclusive offers and deals that you might not find elsewhere. The commission we earn comes from the provider's marketing budget, not from your pocket.

This is crucial: Our affiliate relationships NEVER influence our content, recommendations, or reviews. We maintain strict editorial independence.

Our Commitments:

• No paid placements: Companies cannot pay to be featured or receive positive reviews
• Honest reviews: We highlight both pros and cons of every product
• Data-driven: All recommendations are based on research and data, not commission rates
• Negative reviews: We publish negative reviews when products don't meet our standards
• Editorial separation: Our editorial team operates independently from commercial partnerships

If a product offers higher commission but isn't the best option for our readers, we will NOT recommend it. Period.

We make it easy to identify affiliate links through several methods:

• Explicit disclosure: Many articles include a notice at the top like "This post contains affiliate links"
• Button text: "Apply now", "Check rates", "Visit site" buttons are typically affiliate links
• Link labels: Some links may have "(affiliate)" or "(ad)" next to them
• Comparison tables: "Compare rates" or "View deal" links in tables are often affiliate links

When in doubt, assume that outbound links to financial product providers may be affiliate links. We want you to be fully informed.

We understand that trust is earned. Here's how we maintain your trust:

• Clear labeling: We clearly mark sponsored content and affiliate links
• No misleading claims: We never promise something we can't deliver
• Fact-checking: All information is verified before publication
• Regular updates: We update content to ensure accuracy
• Your feedback: We welcome questions and concerns about our practices
