The simple rule
Inside Panama is funded by three streams: affiliate links, digital product sales, and the newsletter.
When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase (bank account, insurance, flight, VPN, etc.), Inside Panama may earn a commission. This does not change the price you pay.
FTC compliance
In line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and the FTC’s .com Disclosures, every affiliate link is flagged:
- with an “Affiliate” badge on sponsored blocks;
- with the HTML attribute
rel="sponsored nofollow noopener"on links; - with a banner at the top of every article that contains affiliate links.
UK readers: the same disclosures meet ASA/CAP Code requirements. EU readers: the same disclosures meet the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC).
Our commitment
- No money or compensation in exchange for a favorable review.
- No affiliate links pointing to a product we wouldn’t recommend as users ourselves.
- If our opinion on a product changes, we update the article and date the change.
