Our editorial integrity
Editorial policy
Our mission is to help sole traders and company directors access the best payment processing, banking and funding solutions for their specific business needs. We do this through expert-driven content, data and interactive tools that enable UK businesses to quickly understand how they can make savings and/or find better financial products that meet their commercial requirements.
Our aim is to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information possible whilst remaining editorially independent in our recommendations. We will never write content that’s been swayed by commercial objectives.
How does Merchant Savvy make money?
We may earn compensation when a customer clicks a link, signs a contract, or opens an account. However, our recommendations and written content are produced independently without influence from advertising partnerships with issuers.
If you sign up with one of the payment service providers we have provided quotes from, we will receive a small commission from that provider.
A proportion of our revenue also comes from referral links on the website. We may receive a small commission if a website visitor follows a referral link from Merchant Savvy and subsequently signs up for a service or purchases a product on the company’s website.
