How NRIWallah makes money
NRIWallah is free to use, with no paywalls, accounts or charges. Running the site still costs money, so this page explains how it is funded.
Affiliate commissions
Some links on NRIWallah are affiliate links. If you click one and then open an account or make a transfer with that provider, the provider pays us a commission. It costs you nothing extra — the rate and fees you get are identical whether you arrive through our link or go to the provider directly.
Affiliate links appear mainly on our money pages: the remittance comparisons, broker comparison, mortgage tools, and insurance guides. Every button or link that can earn us a commission sits on a page that discloses it.
Display advertising
We show display ads served by Google AdSense on some pages. Advertisers pay per view or click; they have no access to your personal data from us, and no say in our editorial content. Our privacy policy covers how advertising cookies work and how to opt out via our consent banner.
Occasionally a provider may pay for a clearly-labelled placement — for example a “featured partner” card. These are always marked as such and are never blended into our rated picks or comparison tables. If you are a provider interested in reaching NRIs, see our partner page.
What money never buys on NRIWallah
- Ratings are not for sale. Star ratings and “best for” picks follow our published rating methodology, scored the same way for partners and non-partners. Several top-rated providers on this site pay us nothing.
- Order is not for sale. Comparison tables sort by the data — rates, fees, margins — not by who pays us.
- Cons stay published. Being a partner does not get a provider’s drawbacks removed or softened.
- Coverage is not conditional. We write about providers with no affiliate programme whenever they are good options for NRIs.
If a partner objected to our coverage, we would keep the coverage and drop the partner.
Why we do it this way
A comparison site is only useful if readers trust it. Someone deciding where to send USD 10,000 needs the answer that is correct for them, not the one that pays best, and a site that shades its answers toward commissions loses the readers it depends on.
