Broker & Partner Vetting Standards

AAFX.IO reviews prospective broker and financial-services partners before accepting advertising, affiliate or sponsored-content relationships.

Purpose of Our Review

Commercial acceptance is separate from editorial review. Passing this screening means only that a provider is eligible to be considered for advertising; it is not a guarantee of performance, safety or suitability for every reader.

Minimum Partner Requirements

• Verifiable legal company name, ownership and operating address
• Current regulatory authorization relevant to the promoted service and target jurisdiction
• No active warning-list entry, fabricated licence claim or misleading use of another company’s authorization
• Clear client terms covering fees, spreads, commissions, withdrawals, leverage and conflicts of interest
• Appropriate risk warnings and approved marketing materials
• Transparent contact, complaint and customer-support procedures

Regulatory Verification

AAFX.IO checks claims against the relevant regulator’s public register where practical. A licence in one jurisdiction is not presented as authorization everywhere. Partners must identify excluded countries and confirm where each campaign may legally appear.

Conduct and Reputation Review

We may assess regulatory notices, material legal actions, withdrawal complaints, misleading bonus terms, impersonation concerns, unresolved customer-service patterns and other evidence that could affect readers. Anonymous reviews alone are not treated as conclusive, but credible recurring issues may require further evidence from the provider.

Advertising Requirements

• Claims must be substantiated, current and understandable.
• Bonuses, returns, execution quality and cost claims must include material conditions.
• Risk warnings must be prominent and appropriate for the intended audience.
• Sponsored and affiliate relationships must be disclosed clearly.
• Partners may not control independent news coverage or demand positive conclusions.

Ongoing Monitoring

Eligibility is reviewed periodically and may be reconsidered after regulatory action, ownership changes, repeated complaints or material changes to a provider’s service. AAFX.IO may suspend or remove advertising while concerns are investigated.

Rejection and Removal

AAFX.IO may reject or end a commercial relationship at its discretion when a campaign creates legal, regulatory, reputational or reader-safety concerns. Payment does not override these standards.
