How we make money
The short version: two providers pay us a fixed referral reward, labelled where it applies. Here is exactly what that means, what may change, and what never will.
Today
Bank Solutions is funded by its publisher, Domain Farm Ltd. As of the date above, two providers
pay us: Tide and Wise, through their referral programmes,
which pay a fixed reward when someone opens an account through our link and meets the
provider's conditions (where the new member receives a reward too, we say so at the link).
Wherever one of those links appears it is labelled "Referral link", carries a
rel="sponsored" attribute, and sits next to a plain link to the provider's
published tariff so you can go there without using ours.
The reward does not depend on which plan you choose, so we have no reason to steer you between a provider's plans - and Tide and Wise sit in the comparison exactly where their published fees put them, in the same sort order as every other row. No other provider pays us, no advertising is sold, and every other provider link goes to that provider's own published tariff or pricing page. When this list changes, this paragraph changes the same day.
What may change
We may, in time, earn money in three ways. Each one will be disclosed on the page where it applies, on the day it starts.
- Referral commissions. If a provider pays us when a reader opens an account through a link on this site, that link is labelled and the page carries a disclosure block.
- Advertising. Display advertising, clearly marked as advertising, never dressed as content or placed inside a comparison table.
- Sponsored content. Labelled "Sponsored" at the top, written to the same factual standard, and never counted as one of our comparisons or guides.
What never changes
- Inclusion. A provider is in the table because it publishes a business account tariff we can read - not because it pays us, and never excluded because it does not.
- Order. Tables sort by a published figure you can see. There is no "featured" position, no promoted row, and no default sort that favours a paying provider.
- Wording. What we say about a provider comes from its published terms and our methodology. Commercial relationships do not get a say in it, and no provider sees copy before it is published.
- Your data. We do not sell leads, contact details or browsing data to providers or anyone else.
Who decides
The editor, Sam Allcock, is responsible for everything published and for keeping this page accurate. Commercial conversations are kept separate from editorial decisions, and where that separation is ever in doubt, the editorial decision wins.
Why we publish this
Comparison sites are, mostly, paid by the companies they compare. That is not wrong in itself, but you should be able to see it. This page, the disclosure block on any page that carries a commercial link, and the visible sort order are how we make sure you can.
