How Money Guide labels commercial offers
Links marked * are commercial or go to our partner sites, which share our operator. Third-party companies may pay us commission. How we make money.
In short: Offers are selected examples, not a whole-market ranking. Third-party commission and common ownership are different commercial relationships and are disclosed.

What does a selected example mean?
An example may illustrate a product category. A historical rate is not a current offer. Check the provider’s live terms, applicable campaign, eligibility, fees and expiry before applying. The presence of a link is not proof that a promotional rate is available to you.
How are relationships disclosed?
Third-party affiliate links are marked * and qualified with nofollow and sponsored link attributes, because the company may pay us. Links to our partner sites — sites run by the same company, such as Instant Deed Poll and SwiftWill — are marked *, labelled Partner and disclosed as shared ownership. They are ordinary links because nobody pays for them, but they are still commercial: purchases support the same operator.
Can commercial funding influence what appears?
The site includes promotion of its own related services and selected third-party partners. Their appearance is not an independent best-buy endorsement. Comparisons should explain their coverage, relevant free alternatives and limitations.
What should readers check?
Use the provider’s current product-specific terms. If a promotion needs a code or eligibility condition, a generic homepage link may not reproduce it. Do not rely on an old headline rate to open an account.
