Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency is fundamental to our mission. Learn about our affiliate relationships, how we maintain editorial independence, and how we're compensated.

Editorial Independence

Our ratings and reviews remain completely unbiased regardless of affiliate relationships

Full Transparency

We clearly disclose all affiliate relationships and compensation arrangements

User-First Approach

Your interests always come first - we recommend what's best for you, not what pays most

Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

CryptoExchangePortal.com may receive compensation when you click on links to our partner vendors and make a purchase or sign up for their services. This is known as "affiliate marketing," and it helps us maintain this free resource for cryptocurrency users worldwide.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

1

You Click a Vendor Link

When you click a link to a vendor from our site, you may be redirected through an affiliate tracking system.

2

You Make a Purchase/Sign Up

If you create an account, make a trade, or use their services, we may receive a commission.

3

No Extra Cost to You

You pay exactly the same price - the vendor pays us a small commission from their existing marketing budget.

4

We Keep Our Service Free

These commissions help us maintain our platform, conduct research, and provide free resources.

Our Editorial Independence Promise

Ratings are never influenced by affiliate commissions. Our review methodology is objective and based on security, features, user experience, pricing, and support quality.

We don't accept payment for better ratings or rankings. Vendors cannot buy their way to higher positions in our listings.

We critique our affiliate partners when warranted. If a vendor we have an affiliate relationship with has issues, we report them honestly.

Our recommendations prioritize your best interests. We recommend vendors based on what's best for specific user types, not commission rates.

Types of Affiliate Compensation

Revenue Share

We receive a percentage of trading fees or revenue generated when you use certain exchanges or services. This is the most common form of crypto affiliate compensation.

Fixed Commissions

Some vendors pay a one-time commission when you sign up, make your first deposit, or complete certain actions. These are typically fixed amounts.

Performance Bonuses

Some affiliate programs offer bonuses based on the number of qualified referrals or the total volume of activity generated through our links.

Partnership Agreements

We may have special partnership arrangements with certain vendors that include various forms of compensation for featuring their services.

How We Disclose Affiliate Links

Clear Link Labeling

Affiliate links are marked with labels such as "Affiliate Link," "Partner Link," or similar clear indicators when you hover over or interact with them.
