Advertisers & Partners
Finance Authority Hub is supported by display advertising and affiliate partnerships. Both are clearly labeled, and neither can influence what we write. If you are a US financial brand that fits those terms, this page explains how to work with us.
Editorial independence comes first
Readers use our guides to make real financial decisions, so how we are paid has to be visible and limited. These rules apply to every advertiser and partner, without exception.
Ads are labeled
Display ads are marked as advertisements and kept apart from editorial content. An ad never changes the article around it.
Commissions are disclosed
If a link may earn us a commission, we say so on the page. A commission never changes a rating, a ranking, or a recommendation.
Nothing else is for sale
Reviews, rankings, “best of” lists, and coverage cannot be bought. Our Editorial Guidelines and Ethics & Transparency page set out the rules in full.
Ways to work with us
We offer two formats. Each comes with clear disclosure and firm limits on what a commercial relationship can influence.
Display advertising
Ads appear on relevant guides and calculator pages. They are served through vetted advertising networks and labeled as advertisements. Advertisers cannot choose or influence the articles their ads appear beside.
Affiliate and referral partnerships
If you offer a US financial product with an affiliate or referral program, we may link to it where it helps readers, and we disclose the commission on the page. Being a partner does not earn coverage, and it does not shield a product from criticism.
What we do not sell: paid reviews, paid rankings or “best of” placement, sponsored articles, guest posts, and links. If you are looking for any of these, we are not the right site.
Who reads Finance Authority Hub
Our readers are adults in the United States researching a specific money decision.
They arrive from guides on insurance, mortgages, investing, loans, and estate planning, and many use our free calculators, such as the mortgage calculator, while they decide.
We do not publish traffic claims on this page. Verified prospective partners can ask for current audience information by email.
Who we work with
We apply the same reader-protection standards to every prospective partner, whatever the commercial value of the relationship.
We welcome
- Licensed and registered firms
Banks insured by the FDIC, broker-dealers and investment advisers registered with the SEC or FINRA, insurers licensed in the states where they sell, and mortgage lenders with an NMLS ID.
- Plain disclosure of costs
Fees, rates, eligibility rules, and key terms must be easy to find and easy to understand.
- Compliant advertising
Creative must follow US advertising law, including the FTC’s truth-in-advertising rules.
- A fit for our readers
Products that help people make clearer, safer financial decisions.
We decline
- Unlicensed or unverifiable firms
Anyone who cannot confirm a license or registration when we ask.
- High-cost or exploitative products
Payday and other high-cost short-term loans, and products aimed at people in financial distress.
- Get-rich claims
Guaranteed-return investments, unregistered investment schemes, and credit repair or debt relief offers that promise results they cannot deliver.
- Misleading creative
Ads that mislead, hide costs, or look like independent editorial content.
We may decline any inquiry, and we will tell you plainly if we do.

Common questions
Straight answers on what advertising and partnerships can and cannot do here.
Can paying to advertise improve a product’s rating or ranking?
No. Ratings, rankings, and recommendations come from our own research. Display advertising and affiliate commissions have no influence on them. See our Editorial Guidelines and Advertising Disclosure.
Do you publish sponsored articles or accept guest posts?
No. We do not sell articles, reviews, guest posts, or links, and we do not accept paid placements of any kind inside our editorial content.
Can we review or approve an article about our product before it is published?
No. Partners and advertisers cannot preview, edit, or approve editorial content. If you spot a factual error, such as a wrong rate or eligibility rule, email us with a source and we will review it under our Complaints & Corrections Policy.
How are affiliate links disclosed?
Pages with links that may earn us a commission say so, and our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure explains how the arrangement works. A commission does not change how we assess a product.
Do you have a rate card?
No. We agree terms case by case, and we share the commercial terms with you before anything is finalized.
Is there a contact form?
No. Email is the only way to reach us. Use contact@financeauthorityhub.com for advertising and partnerships, and support@financeauthorityhub.com for reader help and privacy requests.
I saw an ad on the site that looked misleading. What should I do?
Email support@financeauthorityhub.com with the page address and a description or screenshot. We review every report and can remove ads that break our standards.
