Visa Advice Hub (visaadvicehub.com) participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This page explains how affiliate links work on this site, what it means for you, and how it affects our recommendations.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a tracked URL that tells a company you arrived at their site from ours. If you complete a qualifying action after clicking one of our links — such as signing up for an account or making a transfer — we may receive a commission from the company.
The commission is paid by the company. It does not add any extra cost to you. The price, fee, or exchange rate you receive is exactly the same as if you had visited the company’s site directly.
Which Services We Link To
Affiliate links on this site primarily appear in articles covering international money transfers and remittance services. These may include:
- Wise (formerly TransferWise)
- Western Union
- Al Ansari Exchange
- Other money transfer and financial services where we have an affiliate arrangement
Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Links to government portals, official agency websites, and reference sources are standard links with no commercial arrangement.
How Affiliate Income Affects Our Content
It does not change what we write or recommend. Our standard is:
- We only include affiliate links to services we would cover regardless of whether a commission exists.
- We cover the fees, limitations, exchange rate margins, and drawbacks of every service we mention — including those we earn commissions from.
- We do not rank services higher, hide their disadvantages, or omit competing services because of an affiliate arrangement.
- Where a service without an affiliate arrangement is better for the reader’s situation, we recommend it.
Disclosure in Individual Articles
Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure note at the top or in the relevant section. This makes it clear when a link may result in a commission.
Google AdSense Advertising
In addition to affiliate links, this site displays advertisements through Google AdSense. These are paid advertisements placed by Google on our pages. We do not control which specific ads appear. Google’s personalisation of ads is governed by Google’s own privacy and advertising policies.
See our Privacy Policy for details on how Google AdSense uses cookies on this site.
