Affiliate disclosure

How BestForexBroker makes money

We’re free to use. We may earn a commission when you open an account through our links, but that never decides our ratings.

Updated October 2026

BestForexBroker is free for readers, and we may earn a commission from some of the brokers we review. Here is how that works, and how we keep it out of our ratings.

Our affiliate model

If you open an account through one of our links, the broker may pay us a commission. Any such commission funds our research, and it is never added to your costs.

What does not influence our ratings

Commission rates and partnership status have no effect on a score or a review.

The overall score is calculated from the category scores, so a broker cannot pay to score higher.

Placement and ranking order are not for sale. If a paid arrangement is ever taken, it will be named here.

What we do not accept payment for

To be unambiguous about the boundaries:

  • Publishing, removing or altering a review or its conclusions.
  • Letting a broker approve its own review before publication.
  • Advance influence over a partner’s score.
  • Placement or ranking order.

How we protect editorial independence

Reviews are written by Giles Thomas, edited by Rory Hughes and fact-checked by Tomislav Turčin, and none of them negotiates commercial terms.

The full process is on our methodology page, and the people behind it on our experts page.

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge readers anything?
No. Any commission we earn is paid by the broker, and you pay the same whether you use our link or go to the broker directly.
Do partner brokers get better reviews?
No. Partner status, if we have any, does not change a score: scores come from the published methodology, which applies to every broker in the same way.
How do you earn money if the site is free?
We may earn a commission from some brokers we review, paid by the broker when a reader opens an account through one of our links.
Are your broker links marked?
Not with a visible tag. Live affiliate links carry the rel=“sponsored” attribute in the page code, which tells search engines they are commercial, and the advertiser note in every page's footer says how we may earn from them. A broker we have no affiliate relationship with links straight to its own website: that button earns us nothing and carries no such attribute.

BestForexBroker is an informational broker comparison site. We do not provide financial advice or investment recommendations, general or personal. Trading and investing involve risk, and you may lose some or all of your capital.
