Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: November 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At DividendCrew, transparency and honesty are fundamental to everything we do. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how we may earn commissions when you use our links.

✓ We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe in

Our recommendations are based on personal experience, thorough research, and honest assessment—not commission rates.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you sign up for a service or make a purchase through our recommendation.

Important: Using our affiliate links does NOT cost you anything extra. In many cases, you may receive better pricing or exclusive bonuses through our partnerships.

Products and Services We May Promote

We may earn affiliate commissions when you sign up for or purchase:

  • Investment Platforms: Trading 212, Freetrade, InvestEngine, Interactive Brokers, and other UK investing apps
  • Financial Tools: Portfolio tracking software, stock screeners, and research platforms
  • Educational Products: Investment courses, books, and training programs
  • Web Services: Hosting, email marketing tools, and website platforms we use

All affiliate relationships will be clearly disclosed on the relevant review or recommendation page.

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our recommendation process is rigorous and honest:

1. Personal Use & Testing

We personally use and test platforms before recommending them. Our portfolio is managed using the platforms we review.

2. Research & Comparison

We thoroughly research features, fees, customer service, and user reviews before forming opinions.

3. Honest Assessment

We highlight both pros and cons. If a platform has issues, we tell you—even if it means lower commissions.

4. UK Focus

We prioritize platforms suitable for UK dividend investors, considering tax efficiency, ISA availability, and UK stock access.

Understanding Investment Risks

Capital at Risk: The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Before making any investment decisions, you should consider seeking independent financial advice from an FCA-regulated advisor who can assess your personal circumstances.
