Editorial Standards

Our goal is to help a user understand cost, timing, eligibility and repayment before they continue to a provider.

Five release checks

Intent fitMathSourcesState contextPlain language

Primary sources first

Government regulators, statutes and provider disclosures are preferred for factual product requirements.

Estimates stay estimates

Illustrative APRs, fees or timing are labeled and are never presented as a guaranteed offer.

One page, one job

Each product page answers the specific need implied by its title instead of repeating generic loan education.

Provider terms control

The identified lender, bank, credit union or service provider controls final eligibility, pricing, funding and agreement terms.

Privacy-minimized comparison

Comparison tools do not request Social Security numbers or bank credentials.

Corrections & review

Pages carry review dates and material errors are corrected when identified.

Operational detail

The standard behind every financial page

Primary sources first

State rules, regulatory status and historical bank facts should be grounded in statutes, regulators, agencies or provider disclosures before secondary summaries are used.

Product-page review

A product page is reviewed for intent, amount/term realism, cost and repayment, eligibility/funding, state context, added value, trust language, internal links and request-flow continuity.

Calculator discipline

Examples must label assumptions. A calculator should never convert a modeled APR, fee or funding time into an implied provider offer. State-sensitive logic must distinguish verified records from reference summaries.

Corrections & versioning

Material errors should be corrected promptly. Review dates, methodology links and source notes provide a visible trail so visitors can understand when the page was last checked.
