Disclaimer & credits
What pay.wiki is and is not, how we make money, and whose work we use.
1. Information, not advice
pay.wiki is a reference. We are not a payment service provider, bank, e-money institution, adviser or agent of any provider, and we do not process payments or hold funds. Nothing on pay.wiki is financial, legal, tax, regulatory or investment advice. Before you choose a payment method or provider, check the details with the provider and with primary sources.
2. Accuracy and freshness
We cite sources for facts and figures, and we label how certain each figure is (see Data & methodology). Even so, entries can be incomplete or out of date: schemes change rules, providers change coverage and figures are revised. Calendar items marked TBA or provisional are not confirmed by the organiser. Exchange rates are indicative daily rates and must not be used for transactions.
3. How pay.wiki makes money
Reading pay.wiki is free. We earn, or plan to earn, from optional services for businesses:
- Introductions: a payment provider may pay us a commission or referral fee when a business we introduced, with its consent, signs with it. Businesses do not pay us for introductions.
- Paid products: the Product growth panel and payment flow licences, when they become paid.
Rules we follow:
- No one can pay to be listed, to be ranked higher, or to change what an entry says. We change entries only on sourced evidence, whoever asks.
- Commissions do not decide which providers we suggest. Fit with your methods and markets does.
- Sponsored content, if we ever publish any, will be clearly labelled "Sponsored".
Our introduction partners: None yet.
