Last Updated: April 20, 2026
How CreditStudio Makes Money
CreditStudio is a free resource that provides educational content and financial calculators to help consumers make informed decisions about credit cards, buy-now-pay-later services, and debt management. We generate revenue through affiliate partnerships with financial institutions.
When you click on links to credit card issuers or financial service providers on our site and apply for or sign up for their products, we may receive compensation in the form of commissions or referral fees. This helps fund our operations and allows us to continue providing our tools and resources for free.
Maintaining Editorial Independence
Our editorial content, product rankings, and recommendations are based solely on objective analysis and mathematical calculations. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions, content, or the placement of products in our calculators and comparisons.
All results generated by our calculators are based purely on math and cost calculations. We do not factor in potential affiliate commissions when determining which options to display or how to rank them.
Transparency in Product Listings
We strive to be transparent about our affiliate relationships. While not every link on our site is an affiliate link, many of the links to credit card applications, financial products, and services are part of affiliate programs.
We participate in affiliate programs with several financial institutions, including but not limited to:
- Chase
- American Express
- Capital One
- Citi
- Discover
- Bank of America
- Wells Fargo
- Klarna
- Afterpay
- Affirm
Compliance with FTC Guidelines
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255). We aim to provide clear and conspicuous disclosure of our affiliate relationships as required by law.
We are not compensated for positive reviews or endorsements. Any compensation received is based solely on user actions such as clicking through our links or applying for products, not on the content we publish.
Our Commitment to You
We are committed to providing accurate, unbiased information that helps you make informed financial decisions. Our calculators, tools, and content are designed to be educational resources, not personalized financial advice.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or disclosure policy, please contact us at support@creditstud.io.
