How We Write Our Guides

Here’s how an article on BankCreditGuide goes from idea to page.

1. Picking the topic

We start with questions readers actually have. No one pays us to cover a topic, a company or a product.

2. Research

Our guides draw on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the IRS, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs, USDA Rural Development and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

3. Drafting

We use AI tools to help gather information and write a first draft.

4. Checking and editing

Before anything is published, we verify facts, figures and rules against the original sources and edit for clarity. If we can’t verify a claim, it doesn’t go in.

5. Publishing and updating

We revisit articles when rules, figures or products change. Our guides are research-based, and we don’t claim to have tested anything unless an article says so.

6. Corrections

If you spot an error, email support@bankcreditguide.com. We look into every report and correct confirmed mistakes promptly.

How the site is funded is explained on our disclosure page.
