TLDR:
- Cexfinder is an independent website and not owned by any cryptocurrency exchange mentioned or listed.
- Exchange signup links on our website may contain referral codes, which are primarily used to give our community special signup bonuses and fee discounts.
What are referral codes?
Most links to crypto exchanges on our website include referral/affiliate/invitation codes.
The referral links provided for signups to crypto exchanges are always intended to offer users additional benefits, including:
- trading fee discounts.
- deposit bonuses.
- fee rebates and kickbacks.
- access to exclusive trading competitions or events.
- special staking and savings bonuses.
Exact bonuses you can receive are different for each exchange. Refer to our individual exchange reviews to find out more details.
It is important to note that there are never any drawbacks or downsides associated with using our referral links or codes. The codes are solely intended to provide additional benefits and value.
Rest assured, personal information is not shared with us when utilizing these referral links. The referral codes merely serve to assist exchanges in tracking signups coming from our website and distribute rewards accordingly.
As an example, our codes/links automatically provide trading fee discounts on all of these exchanges:
On most platforms, the fee discounts are permanently applied to anyone who uses our referral links or codes during signup.
Exchange partnerships
Various signup bonuses for our referees are made possible through affiliate partnerships with multiple cryptocurrency exchanges we list and review. Though these partnerships, we are able to provide new users with special signup rewards, deposit bonuses, trading fee discounts, and other benefits.
This never comes at the expense of users. In some cases Cexfinder staff may receive small commissions from trading fees generated by users, but this commission is paid by the exchange, and never makes user fees higher. In fact, user fees are typically lower than normal because of the partnerships.
Our review process
Cexfinder is an independent website and we are not owned or operated by any exchange mentioned or listed. Despite partnerships with some platforms, we are 100% committed to providing unbiased reviews and comparisons of crypto exchanges.
Our comprehensive exchange review process considers dozens of different factors such as security measures, user experience, trading volume, customer support, available features, and overall reputation. Trading fees are part of the evaluation process. In fact, as per our listing criteria we don’t even list exchanges with fees significantly over industry average.
We want to emphasize that the utilization of referral or affiliate links does not affect our review process for specific exchanges, products, and services. We don’t let referral links cloud our judgment when it comes to recommending specific exchanges, but we’d be fools not to factor in 20% or higher fee discounts when recommending certain exchanges to our audience.
Because of these significant benefits and the overall importance of trade fees, you may sometimes see us recommending specific exchanges over others. The codes are the only way we are able to provide these benefits to you, and again, there are never any downsides to using them.
You can be certain that our exchange recommendations first and foremost prioritize our audience and community’s best interests.
