Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

Some pages on TravelMint contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

We only recommend products and services we use ourselves or have thoroughly researched. Commission never influences what we recommend — if anything it gives us more reason to only recommend things we'd stand behind, because our name is on it.

What products we link to

TravelMint covers long-term family travel finance. The affiliate relationships we have are limited to products and services directly relevant to that topic — primarily:

• Multi-currency travel cards and international bank accounts (e.g. Wise, Starling, Revolut)
• Long-stay travel insurance providers (e.g. True Traveller, SafetyWing)
• eSIM providers (e.g. Airalo, Holafly)
• VPN services used for accessing UK content abroad

We do not accept paid placements, sponsored posts, or payment to feature products we don't genuinely recommend.

How to identify affiliate links

Articles that contain affiliate links display an affiliate disclosure notice near the top of the page. Affiliate links within the article are standard hyperlinks — we do not use pop-ups or deceptive formatting.

If you prefer not to use affiliate links, every product we recommend can be found by searching directly on the provider's website. We do not gate access to our content behind affiliate clicks.

Our editorial independence

TravelMint is written by Tom and Clare Widdall — a UK family currently travelling long-term through Southeast Asia. We write from personal experience. The accounts, insurance policies, and SIM cards we link to are the same ones we actually use. Where we have concerns about a product we still mention them honestly.

If a product we previously recommended changes for the worse, we update our articles accordingly — regardless of any affiliate relationship.
