Affiliate disclosure

Last updated: June 2026

US Expat Check is supported by affiliate commissions. This page explains exactly what that means, in plain language, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines.

What an affiliate link is

Some of the outbound links on this site — including the main “Go to” buttons on our check pages — are affiliate links. If you click one and then sign up or buy, the company may pay us a commission. This is tracked through affiliate networks such as Impact, CJ, ShareASale and FlexOffers.

It costs you nothing extra

You pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or go to the service directly. The commission comes out of the company's marketing budget, not your pocket.

It does not change our verdict

We test every service the same way and publish the drawbacks regardless of whether there's a commission attached. A “works abroad” verdict means we verified it works abroad — not that it pays the most. If a service fails our test, we say so, even when it would have paid us.

We only list what we tested

We don't publish a check for a service we haven't actually tried from abroad. See How we verify for the full method.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, the method page covers how we work, and the about page covers who we are.
