Sources & Fact Checking

Financial information changes, so source quality matters.

For claims that can change, we prioritize current primary sources and identify the relevant country or jurisdiction.

Primary sources

Government departments, regulators, central banks and official program documentation.

When discussing a specific financial product, current provider documentation may be used for its own terms and fees.

We prefer official statistical agencies and clearly identify the period represented by the data.

If a material factual or calculation error is found, we update the page and review related content where appropriate.
