Remit-Scout compares licensed money transfer providers. We keep the service free by earning revenue in a few clearly defined ways. None of these change how we score providers or which options we show first.
Revenue streams
- Affiliate commissions: Paid when a user we refer completes a sign-up or transfer.
- Advertising placements: Marked as “Advertisement” and separated from organic rankings.
- Partnerships & data access: White-label data access for partners; no impact on consumer rankings.
- Remit-Scout Plus: Paid subscription for power users - alerts, watchlists, and advanced features.
Editorial guardrails
- Business and editorial teams are separated; commercial deals cannot alter Remit-Score.
- Ad slots never replace top-scoring organic results; they are labeled and spaced away from the first result.
- Promo pricing is tagged and doesn’t inflate long-term scores.
- We publish methodology updates and change logs when weights shift.
User-first ranking policy
Providers are ranked by total cost (fees + FX), delivery speed, payout breadth, and trust signals. If a provider we do not partner with beats a partner on cost or speed, it still appears higher.
Example:
If Provider A (no affiliate link) pays the recipient more than Provider B (affiliate), Provider A ranks above Provider B for that corridor/amount.
Conflict checks
- Quarterly audits of affiliate impact on rankings.
- Dedicated disclosure labels on affiliate buttons and sponsored modules.
- User feedback loop to flag mis-ranked offers.
