Our editorial policy

Updated November 6, 2026.

Our editorial rules focus on clear explanations, identifiable sources and a fair account of what the evidence supports.

Sources and dates

Company statements are attributed to their source, and official findings to the issuing agency. Historical material stays dated. Our About history contains the earlier provider records and their source links.

Information and offers

General borrowing explanations are separate from a lender's offer. Read the actual rates, fees, repayment obligations and eligibility conditions in the provider's or lender's documents before making a decision. A brand name or general example is not proof of approval.

Authorship

We name an author or reviewer only when that responsibility is attributable. Where an individual author is unknown, the page remains unattributed. Historical professional references do not designate current site authors, reviewers or licensed advisers.

Corrections

Email [email protected] with the page address, the statement in question and supporting evidence. Our policy is to check material corrections against the relevant source and revise an affected statement when supported.

See our source notes for the limits of verification.
