Affiliate Disclosure
Monkey Money Blog is reader-supported. This means that when you click on certain links on this website and make a purchase or sign up for a product or service, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you.
We believe in full transparency, so here’s exactly how it works.
How We Make Money
Monkey Money Blog participates in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
Amazon Associates — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. If you click an Amazon link and buy something, we receive a small commission.
ShareASale & CJ Affiliate — We partner with merchants through these affiliate networks across various financial and consumer product categories.
Financial App & Service Partners — We may have affiliate or referral relationships with financial apps and services such as cash advance apps, banking platforms, credit card issuers, personal loan providers, and similar products (including but not limited to apps like Dave, Chime, and others in the fintech space). When you sign up through our links, we may receive a referral fee.
What This Means for You
- You pay nothing extra. Commissions are paid by the brands, not by you.
- Our opinions are our own. We only recommend products we genuinely believe can help our readers. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or rankings.
- We are selective. We turn down affiliate partnerships for products we wouldn’t recommend regardless of compensation.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines under 16 CFR Part 255, which require bloggers and content creators to disclose any material connections to products or services they discuss or promote.
Whenever a post contains affiliate links, you may see a disclosure notice at the top of that article. This page serves as our site-wide disclosure.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate compensation does not affect which products we review, how we rate them, or what we write about them. Our content is based on independent research, personal experience, and publicly available information.
If we have a financial relationship with a product we are reviewing or recommending, we will always disclose it clearly.
