At MoneyPantry, we’re all about giving you honest, simple, and practical money tips you can actually use.
But none of that matters if you don’t trust us. Your trust means everything to us, seriously. So we wanted to take a minute to show you how we do things around here.
This page lays out the ethical standards and editorial guidelines we follow to keep things real, helpful, and honest.
Think of it as our promise to you.
We Don’t Let Anyone Tell Us What to Say
Everything we publish at MoneyPantry is written with one goal: helping you.
Our founder, Saeed Darabi, and the rest of the editorial team have full control over every piece of content. Nobody else gets a say, not advertisers, not partners, no one.
Full Transparency on How We Make Money
Running a site like MoneyPantry takes time, effort, and yep, money.
To keep all our content free for you, we make some of that money through affiliate links.
Here’s the deal: If you click a link on our site and sign up for something (like a bank account or an app), we might earn a small commission. It never costs you anything extra.
But here’s the important part, we never let that influence what we recommend. If we talk about a product or service, it’s because we truly believe it’s worth your time. Period. We’ve turned down plenty of deals that didn’t meet our standards.
At the end of the day, your trust matters way more than a quick commission.
You Come First. Always.
Everything we do at MoneyPantry runs through one simple filter: Does this actually help our readers?
That’s how we decide what to write, who to partner with, and what to recommend. If we wouldn’t use it ourselves (or suggest it to someone we care about) you won’t see it here. Simple as that.
We’ve walked away from plenty of offers that didn’t line up with that rule, and we’ll keep doing it. Your trust isn’t for sale.
Your Privacy Matters to Us
We take your privacy seriously. Really seriously.
Our Privacy Policy has all the fine print, but here’s the bottom line: we’ll never sell your personal info or share it with shady third parties. Your data stays yours, and we’re committed to keeping it that way.
To see the specific process we use to uphold these ethics, please read our Editorial Guidelines.
