While we strive to help you navigate your financial journey with confidence, we are fully open about how our business operates: LendEDU is a for-profit company, and many of the financial institutions we feature compensate us. This affiliate partnership model allows us to keep our platform 100% free for consumers, though editorial research and compensation may influence how and where products appear on our pages.

So, How Does LendEDU Make Money?
LendEDU is compensated by some of the financial service providers featured on our website. Most often, LendEDU receives a fee when one of our readers clicks to, applies for, or receives a financial product from a LendEDU partner.
This compensation may impact where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear in a comparison table).
Our Commitment to Editorial Integrity
To be clear:
- Partners cannot pay us to guarantee favorable reviews or ratings.
- LendEDU has not written about, reviewed, or rated all financial products available to consumers.
- We regularly turn down promotional offers from companies. We work to put you first, and we only work with companies that prioritize consumers as well.
- We do not publish favorable (or unfavorable) reviews or assessments at the direction of an advertiser.
We encourage you to read more about our editorial integrity and process.
