Our Commitment

LeapRate is an independent financial news publication. Editorial credibility is our most valuable asset, and we protect it accordingly. This page explains how we manage the boundary between editorial coverage and commercial revenue, so that readers can assess our content with full knowledge of our interests.

How LeapRate Earns Revenue

LeapRate generates revenue through the following channels:

Display advertising. We sell advertising space on LeapRate.com, including banner ads, sidebar placements and interstitial formats. Ads are clearly distinguished from editorial content by visual design and, where necessary, labelling.

Directory listing subscriptions. Brokers, exchanges and service providers pay for enhanced profiles in our broker directory. Four tiers are available (Free, Standard, Premium, Sponsored), with increasing visibility and features at each level. Full details are set out on our Pricing Plans page.

Sponsored content. We occasionally publish sponsored articles, branded content or advertorial material produced in partnership with industry companies.

Newsletter sponsorship. Commercial partners may sponsor editions of the LeapRate newsletter. Sponsorship is identified in the newsletter.

Press release distribution. Companies may submit press releases for publication on LeapRate. Press release publication is a paid service if the content is purely promotional.

Affiliate links. Some links on LeapRate, including links within directory listings and certain editorial articles, are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and subsequently open an account or make a transaction with the linked provider, LeapRate may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Editorial Independence

LeapRate’s editorial content (news articles, analysis, opinion and investigative reporting) is produced independently of our commercial operations. The following principles apply:

No pay-for-coverage. Purchasing a directory listing, advertisement or sponsorship does not entitle any company to editorial coverage, favourable treatment or the suppression of negative news. Companies featured in paid placements may also appear in editorial coverage; the two are unrelated.

No advertiser review. Advertisers and commercial partners do not review, approve or influence editorial content before publication.

No suppression. We will not remove, delay or alter editorial coverage of a company because that company is, or may become, a paying advertiser or directory client.

Separation of staff. Editorial decisions are made by editorial staff. Commercial decisions are made by commercial staff. Where individuals perform both functions, editorial judgement on specific coverage takes priority.

Correction over deletion. If an article contains an error, we correct it and note the correction. We do not delete articles at the request of the companies they cover. Our full approach is set out in our Corrections Policy.

Directory Ratings and Reviews

Broker ratings displayed in the LeapRate directory are based on user-submitted reviews. LeapRate does not adjust, inflate or suppress ratings based on commercial relationships.

Paid listing tiers affect visibility (for example search position, badge display and homepage placement) but do not affect the rating score or review content. A Free-tier listing with a 4.5-star rating will display that rating just as a Sponsored-tier listing would.

See our Review and Ratings Policy for full details on review moderation.

Affiliate Disclosure

Where an article or listing contains affiliate links, the following disclosure applies:

Disclosure: LeapRate may receive compensation from some of the companies or services linked on this page. This does not affect our editorial content or directory ratings. See our full Disclosures Policy for details.

This disclosure appears at the top or bottom of relevant pages. If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume it may be and act accordingly.

Conflicts of Interest

FinAffiliates Limited and its directors, officers and employees may hold personal investments or financial interests. Where such interests create a material conflict with LeapRate’s editorial coverage, the conflict is disclosed or the individual is recused from the relevant editorial decision.

LeapRate does not trade forex, CFDs or other financial instruments as a business. We are a media company, not a broker.

Questions or Concerns

If you believe that a piece of LeapRate content has been improperly influenced by a commercial relationship, or if you have questions about our editorial standards, contact us at info@finaffiliates.com. We take such enquiries seriously.
