Honest Pensioner (honestpensioner.com) is a free, independent personal finance blog written for UK adults aged 55 and over.
To help us keep the site running and the content free, some articles on this site contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and go on to purchase a product, sign up for a service, or make an enquiry, we may receive a small commission from the company concerned.
This commission comes at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the provider’s website.
What this means in practice
We want to be completely transparent about this. Here is exactly how our affiliate relationships work:
- We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are useful, honest, and appropriate for our readers
- We never recommend something just because it pays a higher commission
- Our editorial content — the advice, information, and guidance we publish — is always independent
- Affiliate relationships never influence what we write or how we write it
- Where an article contains affiliate links, we will always make this clear with a short notice at the top of the page
Which companies do we have affiliate relationships with?
We work with reputable UK-based financial comparison sites, service providers, and affiliate networks. These may include, but are not limited to, price comparison sites, savings platforms, financial adviser referral services, and travel and leisure providers relevant to the over-55s.
We never promote payday loans, high-risk investments, or any product we would not be comfortable recommending to a close friend or family member.
Regulatory note
Honest Pensioner provides general financial information and guidance only. We are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and do not provide regulated financial advice. Nothing on this site should be taken as a personal recommendation. Always seek independent regulated advice before making significant financial decisions.
