How We Make Money
Some lenders on this site pay us when you click through. Here's how that works.
This page explains when we earn revenue, how it can affect what you see, and what we do to keep comparisons fair.
When compensation may happen
CompareBankLoans may receive compensation when a borrower clicks through to certain lenders or completes an application after using the marketplace. Not every lender relationship works the same way, and not every click or application generates revenue.
How compensation can influence placement
Commercial relationships may affect placement or visibility, but they do not remove our responsibility to explain the comparison factors borrowers should use. Rankings also consider product fit, fee structure, rate competitiveness, and other borrower-facing criteria.
- Compensation can influence placement.
- Placement does not guarantee best fit for every borrower.
- Borrowers should still compare APR, fees, and lender features before continuing.
Why we surface disclosures near results
The redesigned experience keeps disclosure links and methodology cues near headers, ranking modules, and supporting content so borrowers do not have to search the footer to understand the business model.
