How Cardefi makes money
Some links on Cardefi pay us a commission if you open a card through them. Where a link pays us, it says so in words directly under the button, on every page, in every country where the link is active. Where a link pays nothing, it says that too.
What it does not change
The order of cards. The ranking is a published formula (methodology) with no commission input. A card that pays us is not moved up; a card that pays nothing is not moved down. The first row is the first row because of its net value at your stake and spend.
How much
Partner programmes pay a fixed amount per approved card, typically in the range of $20–120, or a share of card revenue. We publish the range, not per-partner figures, because partner contracts are confidential.
Where partner links are not shown
In countries where promoting crypto products requires a licence we cannot verify for the issuer, or where such promotion is restricted, no partner link is shown. The card is still listed with its verified figures.
Sponsored placements
None today. If a sponsored slot is introduced, it sits above the list, is labelled “Sponsored · paid placement”, never appears in the organic order, and never on comparison pages or the changes feed.
