Transparency is fundamental to our mission. Learn about our affiliate relationships, how we maintain editorial independence, and how we're compensated.
Our ratings and reviews remain completely unbiased regardless of affiliate relationships
We clearly disclose all affiliate relationships and compensation arrangements
Your interests always come first - we recommend what's best for you, not what pays most
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.

When you click a link to a vendor from our site, you may be redirected through an affiliate tracking system.
If you create an account, make a trade, or use their services, we may receive a commission.
You pay exactly the same price - the vendor pays us a small commission from their existing marketing budget.
These commissions help us maintain our platform, conduct research, and provide free resources.
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.
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.
Some vendors pay a one-time commission when you sign up, make your first deposit, or complete certain actions. These are typically fixed amounts.
Some affiliate programs offer bonuses based on the number of qualified referrals or the total volume of activity generated through our links.
We may have special partnership arrangements with certain vendors that include various forms of compensation for featuring their services.
Affiliate links are marked with labels such as "Affiliate Link," "Partner Link," or similar clear indicators when you hover over or interact with them.
Pages containing affiliate links include notices about our affiliate relationships and link to this comprehensive disclosure page.
Our website footer contains a clear link to this affiliate disclosure page, accessible from every page on our site.
Individual vendor reviews and comparisons include specific affiliate disclosures when applicable, explaining the nature of our relationship.
No paid placements: Vendors cannot pay for better rankings or featured positions in our listings.
No fake reviews: All our reviews are based on genuine research, testing, and user feedback analysis.
No hidden relationships: We disclose all material connections and compensation arrangements.
No commission-based recommendations: We don't recommend vendors simply because they pay higher commissions.
No endorsement without research: Affiliate relationships don't constitute endorsements without proper evaluation.
No guaranteed outcomes: We don't promise specific results from using any vendor's services.
Our affiliate disclosure practices comply with:
We're committed to transparency and welcome any questions about our affiliate relationships, compensation, or editorial policies.
Material Changes: For significant changes to our affiliate policies, we'll provide notice through our newsletter and homepage announcements.
