How we make money

WealthNutz is free for students. Here is exactly how money could come in, and what we never do.

Right now

  • We have no active affiliate links. No link on the site earns us a commission.
  • No product is a paid placement. Every order you see is our own editorial order.
  • Search, guides, school pages, and chat are free, with no email required to search.

How it could work later

  • Affiliate links: a bank, investing app, or card issuer may pay us if you open a product through our link. It never changes the price or terms you get.
  • Sponsored placements: a company pays to appear in a marked slot. It is always labelled “Sponsored · Paid placement” and never changes the order of comparison tables.
  • The Kit: an optional paid extra we may launch for $9 or less. Search stays free. See the Kit waitlist.

Featured vs Sponsored

Featured means we picked it for students. Nobody paid for it. Sponsored means someone paid, and the card says so.

What is never paid

Government student aid is never an affiliate link or a sponsored placement: FAFSA, StudentAid.gov, the NSLSC, canada.ca student aid, provincial aid programs, and school awards pages. Only commercial products like bank accounts, investing, and credit cards can ever be paid.

What we never do

  • Sell or share your data with lenders
  • Ask for your SIN, SSN, date of birth, full address, or credit score
  • Rank a product higher because it pays us
