How We Make Money

BankRanked is a free resource. We earn revenue primarily through affiliate partnerships with banks, credit unions, and financial technology companies. Here is exactly how it works:

Affiliate Partnerships

When you click certain links on BankRanked and open an account or apply for a product, we may earn a commission from the financial institution. These links are clearly marked and always include rel="sponsored" attributes.

What This Does NOT Affect

  • Rankings: Bank rankings are based on FDIC financial data, not affiliate relationships.
  • Data: All financial data comes from government sources and is displayed identically for all banks.
  • Editorial content: Our guides and reviews are written independently of our business relationships.
  • Complaint data: CFPB complaint data is shown for all banks, whether they are partners or not.

What This MAY Affect

Affiliate partnerships may affect which banks have "Visit Site" buttons and the order in which promotional offers appear. However, data-driven rankings and comparisons are never influenced by these relationships.

Our Commitment

We built BankRanked because we believe consumers deserve transparent banking data. Revenue allows us to keep this resource free, but it will never compromise the accuracy or independence of our data.
