Masthead
Stephan Kulik
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Stephan Kulik is the founder and editor-in-chief of FintechPays. He has worked in affiliate marketing since 2015 — starting on the affiliate-network side, moving into fintech in 2016, and then building affiliate programs for fintech projects himself. That first-hand experience of how fintech affiliate programs are actually structured — the commission models, cookie windows, and payout terms FintechPays grades by true-EPC — is what he brings to the masthead. He owns the methodology and editorial standards the programs desk and the independent standards desk work to, and carries final accountability for every ranking the site publishes.
Editorial accountability
FintechPays publishes its program reviews under two desk bylines — a programs desk that authors recommendations and an independent standards desk that fact-checks them — so that authorship and verification stay separate. As Editor-in-Chief, Stephan owns the methodology and the editorial standards both desks work to, and carries final accountability for every ranking the site publishes.
