Advertising Policy and Disclosure
Updated 19 April 2020
To provide independent, objective and 100% unbiased content, MoneyHub.co.nz generates income from this site in a few ways:
|
Display advertisingThe first income source is generated from advertisements you see showing up on individual pages. These spaces are contracted through the Google Adsense, and MoneyHub.co.nz has no influence or control in what advertisers are selected, or what ads are shown. Some pages are purposely advert-free, such as most student-related guides, specific investment platform guides, and other core pages.
|
|
Affiliate relationshipsThe second source of income is deduced from affiliate relationships. Our process is always to write a guide first, and then, after publication, reach out to the relevant entity to offer an advert-free guide. As with all aspects of MoneyHub, we only wish to promote products we believe are market-leading. For this reason, we rarely reach out to entities.
Day to day, we believe in sharing the best deals we can find in the market, and continue to do so irrespective of any commercial arrangement. At present, the following advertisers offer a potential commission:
Trades We also have a range of trade service providers who pay a monthly to elevate their positioning on specific pages, as well as have buttons and click-through phone numbers. We invite certain professionals that our research team believes are among the best in the business to enhance their listing, and continue to ensure their services are industry-leading. Trading Platforms and Managed Funds We have a number of commercial arrangements with share trading platforms and fund managers. We are not paid per signup or successful initial transaction. Instead, we charge a monthly fee to promote them through our social channels, newsletter and enhance the page with multiple links to their website. |
|
Sponsored postsIn rare cases, we will brand an existing guide with a relevant entity’s branding. The content is not ‘sponsored’ by definition in that it is not promoting the entity directly. Nonetheless, in such cases, MoneyHub will always label the page with additional disclosure, so that you know the content itself is objective, but supported by a related entity.
|
|
Nominal IP licenceFrom time to time, MoneyHub will publish our Editor's Pick and Most Trusted lists. Entities named have the option to mention our listing for a nominal payment.
|
|
IT ServicesMoneyHub will, from time to time, provide SEO consulting services to unrelated entities.
|
Editorial disclosure
All the opinions, ideas, and analysis at MoneyHub are my own, or those of my contributors, in which case they are representing their own opinions. None of the financial entities we work with can edit our content, and unless expressly noted, none of our posts are sponsored or endorsed by any other entity.
Ethics policy
In addition to the above disclosures, we abide by a strict ethics policy:
