Editorial Policy

Our Research Process

Every article published on FinWise Hub goes through a rigorous research and review process:

1. Topic identification: We select topics based on reader questions, search trends, and gaps in quality financial education content.
2. Primary source research: Writers consult regulatory filings, government data (IRS, SEC, FCA, ASIC), academic studies, and official product documentation.
3. Expert review: Complex financial topics are reviewed by subject-matter experts before publication where possible.
4. Fact-checking: All statistics, rates, and product details are verified against official sources. We note the date of last verification.
5. Editorial review: A senior editor reviews each article for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to our editorial standards.
6. Regular updates: Financial information changes frequently. We review and update articles when rates, regulations, or products change materially.

Sources We Trust

We prioritize these source types (in order of authority):

• Government & regulatory bodies: IRS, SEC, FINRA, FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), OSFI (Canada)
• Central banks: Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Reserve Bank of Australia, Bank of Canada
• Academic research: Peer-reviewed journals and university publications
• Industry associations: CFA Institute, CFP Board, Insurance Information Institute
• Official product documentation: Prospectuses, policy documents, official product disclosures
• Reputable financial media: Bloomberg, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times

We do not treat press releases, social media posts, or unverified user reports as primary sources.

Editorial Independence & Advertiser Relationships

Advertising does not influence our editorial content. Advertisers and sponsors cannot pay to receive positive coverage, influence article rankings, or have negative information removed or modified.

Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial team. Product reviews, comparisons, and recommendations are based solely on their merits — not on advertiser relationships or affiliate commissions.

We may earn commissions when readers click on affiliate links. These financial relationships never influence our ratings, recommendations, or rankings. See our How We Make Money page for full disclosure.

Corrections Policy

We take factual errors seriously. If you identify an error in any of our content:

1. Contact us via our Contact page with details of the error and the correct information with supporting sources.
2. Our editorial team will review the submission within 1 business day.
3. If an error is confirmed, we will correct the article promptly and add a correction notice at the bottom of the article noting what was changed and when.
4. We do not silently delete or alter content without noting the change.

Content Dating & Freshness

Each article displays its publication date and most recent review date. Financial information — including interest rates, investment minimums, and regulatory limits — can change frequently. We note review dates prominently so readers can assess whether a rate or figure may have changed.

We recommend always verifying current rates and terms directly with the financial institution or product provider before making a decision.

Not Financial Advice

All content on FinWise Hub is written for general educational purposes. Nothing we publish constitutes personalized financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. The right financial decision depends heavily on your individual circumstances, which our articles cannot account for.

We always recommend consulting a qualified financial advisor, accountant, or attorney for decisions of significant financial consequence.
