Short version: some links on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account or use a service through one of them, the provider may pay us a commission. You pay nothing extra, and the commission does not change which providers we show or in what order.
How partner links work
Partner links on this site go through an address on our own domain that starts with /go/ and then forward you to the provider. This lets us count clicks without passing your personal details to anyone. Every such link is marked with the word “Affiliate link” next to the button, and in the page code it carries the attributes rel="sponsored nofollow", which tell search engines that it is a paid relationship.
A button appears only when we have an active agreement with the provider for that country. If there is no agreement, the row stays in the table with its link to the official fee page, but without a button.
What commissions do not affect
- Which providers are listed. A provider appears in a table when we have checked its official terms, whether or not we have a partnership with it.
- The order of the table. Rows are ordered by the number of documents required, then by the published monthly fee, then by name. The rule is published on our methodology page.
- What we write. Partners do not see or approve our texts before publication, and we describe their fees and limitations in the same way as everyone else’s.
What we never promote
We do not accept partnerships for loans, credit cards, payday lending, buy-now-pay-later or similar credit products, whatever the commission. We also do not show banner advertising, pop-ups or sticky promotional bars.
Why we use affiliate links at all
Checking fee pages in three countries and three languages takes time, and we do not want to charge readers or sell their data. Commissions from providers that people choose anyway are how we pay for that work. You can always open an account directly on the provider’s website instead of using our link; the terms are the same.
Rules we follow
This disclosure is written to meet the transparency requirements for commercial communication in the European Union, including the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC), and the consumer protection rules of Poland, Germany and Czechia that require advertising to be recognisable as such.
