Editorial standards

Our full policy, including how we score products and how often we update data, is on our Methodology page.

In short:

• Sources: rates, fees and terms come from each provider’s own published terms, and legal or market facts from primary sources such as federal agencies. Figures carry an “as of” date.
• Updates: Federal Reserve benchmarks are checked daily and updated when the Fed publishes. Provider data is checked every 30 days and whenever terms change.
• Comparisons: personal loans are scored on published weights. Tables that are not scored are unranked and say so.
• Money: we may be paid by advertisers, which can affect which products appear and where. See How we make money.
• Review: we use AI tools in drafting. Every page is fact-checked by a person and reviewed for compliance before publishing.
• Authors: pages name the author, Pallavi Madabushi. We never use AI personas as authors or experts.
• Corrections: email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 2 business days and note corrections on the page with the date.
