Transparency

Advertiser Disclosure

We believe you deserve to know exactly how we keep the lights on — and where our incentives lie — before you weigh anything we publish.

We are an independent publisher that earns referral compensation from some of the companies featured on this site, including our top-rated partner. This compensation may influence which companies we list, where they appear, and how prominently. Our ratings reflect our own editorial judgment based on publicly available information; they are opinions, not guarantees, and are not personalized investment advice. Always do your own research and verify a company's credentials (e.g., BBB rating, registrations, depository partners) before investing.

How Building IRA Wealth is funded

Building IRA Wealth is an independent retirement-planning publisher operating the website buildingirawealth.com. The content on this site is free to read. To support our research and keep access free, we earn referral or advertising compensation from some — but not all — of the precious-metals and gold-IRA companies we write about. This includes our top-rated featured partner, Newmont Capital Group, which is a compensated partner.

What compensation does — and does not — affect

Compensation may influence which companies we feature, where they appear on a page, and how prominently they are displayed. A company that compensates us may be placed at the top of a comparison or given a featured spotlight. We always label these placements (for example, with a “Featured Partner” badge and an advertiser-disclosure ribbon).

Compensation does not change the factual data we publish about a company, nor does it buy a higher editorial rating. Ratings are our independent editorial opinion, not user reviews. Our ratings reflect our own assessment of publicly available information such as BBB accreditation, fee transparency, storage and custodian partners, account minimums, and operating history.

Our editorial ratings are opinions

The star scores and rankings on this site are editorial opinions, not user reviews or guarantees. We do not publish fabricated customer testimonials. Where a specific fact (such as an exact fee or founding year) is not publicly verifiable, we label it “Not publicly disclosed” rather than estimate it.

Do your own research

Before opening any account, verify a company’s credentials directly — including its current BBB rating, registrations, fee schedule, and depository partners — and read the company’s own disclosures. Our content is a starting point for research, not a substitute for it.

Not financial advice

This content is for general education only and is not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Investing in precious metals carries risk, including loss of principal. Consult a licensed professional before making decisions.
