How affiliate links work

An affiliate link is a link to a lender that lets the lender know the visit came from Wise Scouter. If you follow one and later sign up or take out a loan, the lender may pay us a commission.

You pay nothing extra, and the lender's terms, limits and rates are the same as if you had gone there directly.

When you follow a link

The link opens the lender's own site. It may pass on which page you came from, so the visit can be credited to us. It never asks for your password, card details or identity documents.

Once you are on the lender's site, its own terms and privacy policy apply. Our privacy policy explains what this site collects.

Why some lenders are not listed

We do not review every lender, and not every one is available where you live. A lender missing from a page is not a bad review.

Read how we rate to see what decides a ranking.

Before you sign up

  • Compare the APR and the total amount you will repay.
  • Check the fees for late or missed payments.
  • Borrow only what you can repay on time.
  • Treat the lender's own loan agreement as the final word.

Questions and corrections

A payment from a lender never buys a place, a better description or the removal of a review.
