These are the standards a money page on this site is written against.
They describe what a page should show. They are not a claim that a person has
individually re-checked each page before publication.
What we do not claim
An earlier version of this page said that a review desk re-checks rate sources, fee math, and
renewal timing. We removed that because we could not show it happens for every page.
Guides here are drafted with AI assistance and published under the Finance Daily Path Editorial Team byline.
Source order
Issuer agreements, lender disclosures, agency releases, and official rate surveys come first.
Secondary reporting is context only after the primary document is read. Where a term varies by
issuer or lender, the page should say so instead of presenting one number as universal.
What a money page should make visible
- The arithmetic — what is being compared, and on what assumptions.
- What varies — issuer, lender, credit profile, and timing.
- What the reader should check themselves before acting.
- Source links, a visible date, and a correction path.
When the record moves
Rates and card terms go stale quickly. If you see a stale figure, a broken route, or a term that
no longer matches the current agreement, tell us through Contact and we
will correct the page or withdraw it. Commercial relationships stay separate from analysis
