Editorial team & standards
How we research, write, and fact-check.
ForexFee covers financial products — remittance providers, travel cards, payment platforms. Content that affects people's money decisions. This page explains exactly how we approach that responsibility.
YMYL commitment
Financial content carries real-world consequences.
When someone reads our comparison of remittance providers and chooses one to send $1,000 to family overseas, our data directly affects how much their family receives. When a traveller reads our Thailand money guide and decides which card to carry, our advice affects real spending decisions.
This is the definition of YMYL — Your Money or Your Life — content. Google applies its highest quality standards to pages like ours, and rightly so. We hold ourselves to the same standard: every fee figure cited, every provider ranking, every ATM fee claim is sourced from primary data and verified before publication.
We are not regulated financial advisers. We are a comparison platform. But we take the quality of our comparison data as seriously as any regulated firm takes the accuracy of its disclosures.

Our editorial process
Primary source research
Every guide begins with primary sources: provider websites, card terms and conditions, regulatory filings, and FCA/SEC/MAS regulatory registers. We do not rely on secondary sources for fee figures or regulatory claims.
Live rate verification
For remittance content, all fee figures and exchange rate comparisons are verified against live data from Wise's comparison API at the time of writing. For travel card content, forex fees and ATM terms are verified against the issuer's current published schedule of charges.
YMYL fact-check
Because ForexFee covers financial products (remittances, travel cards, investment platforms), all content is classified as YMYL — Your Money or Your Life. Every claim that could affect a financial decision is explicitly sourced and cross-checked before publication.
Quarterly review cycle
All guides, card reviews, and provider profiles are scheduled for a full review every quarter. If a provider changes fees, a card issuer updates terms, or a regulatory change affects a corridor, the relevant content is updated immediately — not at the next quarterly cycle. Update dates are displayed on every page.
Reader corrections
We take corrections seriously. If a reader identifies a factual error, we investigate within 48 hours. If the correction is valid, we update the page and note the change. Contact us via the corrections page with specifics and a source reference.
Disclosures
Affiliate relationships
Some outbound links to providers are affiliate links. ForexFee may earn a referral commission when you click through and complete a transfer or sign up. This commission is paid by the provider, not by you, and has zero effect on the rates quoted to you. Affiliate status does not affect our ranking algorithm, which sorts purely by recipient value. We have affiliate relationships with some providers and no relationship with others — both appear in rankings wherever the data places them.
Independence
No provider pays ForexFee to influence editorial content. Providers are not consulted before publication of reviews. We do not accept sponsored rankings, 'featured' placements, or paid editorial content. If a provider asks us to change a review, we decline unless they provide evidence that a factual claim is incorrect.
Not financial advice
ForexFee is a comparison platform, not a regulated financial adviser. Nothing on this site constitutes personal financial advice. We are not authorised by the FCA, SEC, MAS, or any other financial regulator to provide personal recommendations. Decisions about where to send money or which card to carry are yours — our data helps inform those decisions but does not replace professional financial advice for complex situations.
