How GeekPenny makes money

This page describes a specific GeekPenny policy in plain English. Read it once and refer back to it whenever you want to know how we work.

Why this policy exists

Financial decisions affect people's lives. We treat that seriously. The policy described here exists so that every reader can verify how our content is created, who reviews it, how we are paid, and what to do if something on our site is wrong.

What we commit to

• Independence. Editorial recommendations are made by editors, not by sales or partnerships staff.
• Transparency. Every page that earns a commission discloses the relationship at the top.
• Accuracy. Every claim we make is sourced or labeled as opinion.
• Currency. Every recommendation is re-verified at least quarterly.

How we operate in practice

Each piece of content moves through three stages: drafting by a financial writer, fact-checking against primary sources, and review by a licensed expert in the relevant field. The reviewer's name and title appear at the bottom of every page.

How we are funded

GeekPenny earns money in two ways: commissions when readers apply for products through tracked links, and direct partnerships with providers we already recommend on the merits. We never accept payment to change a ranking, to remove negative information, or to publish a pre-written review.

How to contact us

If you find a factual error, a broken link, or a recommendation that no longer holds up, email the editorial team. We re-verify within 48 hours and update the page with a public note describing what changed.

Frequently asked questions

Who reviews this content? A licensed expert with relevant credentials. The reviewer is named at the bottom of every page.

Can a provider pay to be listed? No. Providers can only be recommended on the merits.

How often is content updated? At least quarterly, and immediately when a regulator or provider publishes a material change.
