Where our compensation comes from, how editorial decisions are made, and what we disclose to readers.

Last updated: May 3, 2026

Editorial independence

Pandaloanapp.com is an independent editorial publisher. Editorial decisions — which products to cover, how to evaluate them, and what to recommend — are made by our editorial team without input from advertisers or affiliate partners. No company can pay to alter our coverage, rankings, or ratings.

How we are compensated

The site is supported by a combination of:

  • Affiliate relationships — When a reader clicks through to a third-party lender from our site and completes a qualifying action, we may receive a commission. These relationships are disclosed to the reader before any click-through occurs.
  • Contextual advertising — Display advertising served by third-party advertising networks based on page topic. Advertisers do not influence editorial content.
  • Sponsored content — When applicable, sponsored content is clearly labeled as such and does not appear in our editorial guides.

What we don't accept

  • Payment to write or alter editorial coverage
  • Payment to suppress negative reviews or comparisons
  • Payment to rank one product above another
  • Gifts or hospitality from companies we cover

APR disclosure

APR ranges referenced in our editorial coverage (typically 5.99%–35.99% for installment loans) reflect general market conditions and lender disclosures at the time of writing. Actual APR depends on creditworthiness, loan amount, term, and state of residence. Not all applicants will qualify for the lowest advertised rate.

Not financial advice

Articles on pandaloanapp.com are educational in nature and do not constitute personalized financial, legal, or tax advice. For advice specific to your situation, consult a qualified professional.

Not a lender

Panda Loans Editorial is an information publisher. We do not originate, fund, or service loans. Loans referenced on this site are products of independent third-party lenders.

Late payment consequences

Late payments on any consumer loan may result in late fees, additional interest accrual, negative credit-bureau reporting, and (in extended cases) collection action. Always borrow within your ability to repay.

State availability

Panda loans availability varies by state. APR caps, maximum loan amounts, and minimum term lengths are governed by state law. Some products described on the site may not be available in all states.

Editorial integrity safeguards

Wall between advertising and editorial

The team responsible for advertising and partnership relationships is distinct from the editorial team. Editorial team members do not participate in advertising sales or partnership negotiations, and advertising team members do not participate in editorial decisions about coverage or ratings.

No ad-targeted content

Editorial content is written based on reader information needs, not advertising-yield optimization. We do not commission articles to drive traffic to specific affiliate offers, and we do not adjust article rankings or recommendations based on commission rates.

Transparent affiliate links

Affiliate-linked products are visibly identified within articles, with the disclosure appearing near the relevant link rather than buried in a footer disclaimer.

Specific advertising practices

Display advertising

Some pages include third-party display advertising served via standard ad networks. These ads are contextually targeted based on page topic, not based on individual user behavior tracking.

Affiliate marketing

Some links to third-party lenders are affiliate links. When a reader clicks an affiliate link and completes a qualifying action, pandaloanapp.com receives a commission. The reader pays no additional cost as a result of the affiliate relationship.

Sponsored content (when applicable)

Sponsored content is editorially distinct from organic editorial content and is clearly labeled.

  • Will accept: educational content from regulators, non-profits, and clearly-disclosed sponsors covering topics aligned with reader interests
  • Will not accept: sponsored content for predatory products, payday lenders, or products with APRs above 36% (the Military Lending Act standard)
  • Disclosure standard: any sponsored content carries clear "Sponsored" or "Paid Partner Content" labels visible from the article header

Compensation does not affect editorial content

This is the central editorial commitment of pandaloanapp.com: no advertiser, affiliate partner, or sponsor can pay to alter editorial content. This applies to:

  • Whether a product is covered at all
  • The depth and tone of editorial coverage
  • Ratings, rankings, or comparative recommendations
  • Whether negative information about a product is included
  • The placement of specific products within comparison content

If you observe content that you believe contradicts this commitment, please report it to [email protected].
