Our editorial policy
At MoneyRates, we take full responsibility for the accuracy of the information and opinions published in our articles, reviews, and research studies. Our mission is to provide you with the tools necessary to make informed financial decisions, and that requires a foundation of trust and transparency.
Editorial independence
All of our writers — both staff and freelance contributors — are required to ensure their content is fact-based, truthful, and reflective of their honest opinions. This standard applies to everything we publish, from Federal Reserve updates to product reviews and investment strategies. The opinions expressed are the author’s alone and have not been reviewed, approved, or endorsed by any advertiser.
Transparency and compensation
MoneyRates does not receive compensation from any company, product, or person mentioned in our editorial content unless it is specifically disclosed within the article. If an advertiser sponsors a page, the editorial content remains strictly ours and reflects the independent research of our writers. In these cases, we will clearly mark the article as “Sponsored” next to the byline or in another prominent location.
Accuracy and feedback
We are serious about getting it right. If we have made an error or provided misleading information, we welcome the opportunity to correct it. Please contact us at Editors@MoneyRates to let us know.
Site visitors may also submit comments on our pages, subject to the conditions outlined in our Terms of Use.
Product assesments and rankings
MoneyRates features product rankings in order to help consumers decide which products fit their needs. All of our assessments are based on extensive research and analysis by our MoneyRates team; they are independent of any relationships we have with advertisers.
