How we make money

Trust is the whole business, so here is the honest version. It is the same disclosure the best independent finance sites publish, because you deserve to know our incentives.

Affiliate commissions

Some links to brokers and platforms are affiliate links. If you open and fund an account through one, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. That is our main revenue.

It never buys a ranking

Companies cannot pay to be rated higher, featured, or written about favourably. Our scoring is based on fees, FX, execution, custody and regulatory protection, and we publish the downsides of every product, including ones that pay us.

Where this is going

As Stonekeel grows we will add clearly labelled sponsorships and advertising, a newsletter, and optional premium tools. Anything sponsored is always marked as such, and editorial stays separate from commercial.

Who's behind it

Written by an 11-year retail-brokerage insider. That insider view, how broker pricing really works, what good execution looks like, and where costs quietly sit, is exactly what you are getting here.

Stonekeel is educational and does not provide personal investment advice. Capital is at risk.
