Every sponsor. Named.
When BrokerMap accepts a sponsorship, it gets named here — by sponsor, by category, by scope, and by the date the relationship started. None of them buy a Trust Score, a ranking, a Featured tag, or favorable coverage. Today there are none.
No active sponsors.
BrokerMap currently runs on the founders' time and a free newsletter. The first sponsor we accept will appear here on the day the relationship starts, with the scope of the relationship spelled out in full.
What we'll accept and what we won't.
These rules apply whether the page below has zero entries or twenty. If a sponsorship can't fit on the left, we don't take it.
Acceptable
- Yes: Category sponsorships disclosed at the section level (e.g. a regulator sponsoring our methodology series).
- Yes: Newsletter sponsors from non-broker financial categories — disclosed inline in each edition.
- Yes: B2B data API licensees (fintechs, researchers, journalists) — disclosed in the API contract and on this page.
- Yes: Editorial collaborations with regulators, payment providers, or exchanges where the scope is explicit and no money changes hands for ranking, scoring, or coverage.
Not acceptable
- No: Any payment from a broker, broker affiliate, or broker holding company — for any reason.
- No: Affiliate links, referral codes, or CPA on broker traffic.
- No: Payment from a payment provider, exchange, bank, or regulator that is tied to a specific ranking position, Trust Score outcome, or Featured tag.
- No: Sponsored content that is not visually distinct from editorial content.
- No: “Premium broker profile” products that let a broker pay for richer placement.
What every entry will say.
- Sponsor name and the category it falls into (payment provider, exchange, bank, regulator, fintech, other).
- Scope — what the sponsorship covers (e.g. “newsletter section header, August 2026 edition”).
- Start and end dates of the relationship.
- Explicit confirmation that the sponsorship does not touch any Trust Score, ranking, or Featured tag.
- A direct contact at BrokerMap to write to if a reader believes the sponsorship has nonetheless influenced editorial coverage.
