Affiliate Disclosure
Rankly believes in transparency. This page explains how our affiliate relationships work, when we may earn commissions, and — most importantly — why affiliate relationships never influence our review scores, rankings or content.
How Rankly Earns Revenue
Rankly India is a free resource for Indian users. We do not charge users to access reviews, comparisons, guides or tools. We may earn revenue through affiliate commissions when users click on links to partner brokers or exchanges and subsequently open an account or trade.
This means if you click a link on Rankly and sign up with a broker or exchange, we may receive a commission from that platform. This is a common practice in financial comparison websites and is how we fund our research, content creation and platform maintenance.
Commissions Do NOT Influence Rankings
This is the most important thing you need to know: no broker or exchange can pay to change their Rankly score, ranking position or review content.
Our scoring methodology is fully documented and publicly available on our Methodology page. Every platform is evaluated against the same criteria regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with them. Our review team and our commercial relationships operate independently.
Where You'll See Affiliate Links
Affiliate links are present on broker review pages, exchange review pages, comparison pages, and some "best for" recommendation cards. Every page that contains affiliate links includes a visible disclosure statement at the bottom of the page. In addition, buttons like "Visit Site" or "Open Account" on review pages are typically affiliate links.
Platforms We May Have Affiliate Relationships With
We may have or may in the future establish affiliate relationships with some or all of the platforms reviewed on Rankly, including but not limited to: XM, IC Markets, EBC Markets, TMGM, Tickmill, Binance, OKX and Gate.io. The presence or absence of an affiliate relationship is not indicated on a per-link basis beyond the general page-level disclosure.
What We Never Do
- We never accept payment to increase a platform's score or ranking.
- We never remove or soften negative findings because of an affiliate relationship.
- We never publish a review that has been reviewed or approved by the platform being reviewed.
- We never guarantee placement, ranking or specific review outcomes to any platform.
- We never hide our affiliate relationships — every relevant page includes a disclosure.
What This Means for You
When you use Rankly, you can trust that our scores, comparisons and analysis reflect our independent assessment — not commercial arrangements. The commission we may earn if you choose to use a platform does not cost you anything extra. Our goal is to provide information good enough that you come back to Rankly for future comparisons, not to push you toward any specific platform.
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how we maintain independence, please contact us.
Our Promise
Rankings are earned, never bought. Every score is based on our independent methodology, publicly documented and equally applied.
