Readers come to The Finance Reveal to make decisions about their money, so accuracy is not optional for us. This policy describes how we check facts before and after we publish, and it sits alongside our Editorial Policy.

Our standard

Every factual claim we make should be traceable to a reliable source. That includes interest rates, fees, contribution limits, tax figures, eligibility rules, statistics, and any specific number or quotation. If we cannot verify a claim, we either leave it out or clearly label it as an estimate or opinion.

Sources we trust

We give priority to primary and authoritative sources: government agencies and regulators, central banks, official statistical bodies, courts and legislation, peer-reviewed research, and the official documentation published by banks, lenders, insurers, and other providers. Where we rely on a secondary source, we choose established institutions with a record of accuracy and we try to confirm the underlying primary source.

How the check happens

Facts are checked at the point of writing and again during review. A reviewer confirms that figures match their source, that claims are supported, that context has not been lost, and that nothing important has been omitted. Quotations and data are checked against the original rather than a paraphrase.

Dating and updates

Because financial facts change, every article carries a publication or “last updated” date. We re-check time-sensitive figures on a schedule and update them when they move, noting significant changes on the page.

When we get it wrong

If an error reaches publication, we correct it promptly once verified, following our Corrections Policy. If you spot something you believe is inaccurate, please tell us through our Contact page. We treat accuracy reports seriously and act on them quickly.
