NEWSWORTHY RESEARCH
Our Editorial Process
10+ Years of Dedication
Let’s be real, money stuff can be confusing, boring, and kind of a pain. But it’s super important to stay on top of it. Picking the wrong lender or financial company can cause big headaches that stick around. That’s why our team (yep, real experts and editors!) puts in tons of hours digging into the details and sharing easy-to-follow guides, tips, and research to help you make smart money moves.
If you see “expert approved” on an article it means we teamed up with a money pro, like a financial advisor or accountant, to make sure everything’s spot-on and super helpful.
Expert Ratings, Clear Choices
Reputation, price, happy customers. What really matters when you're choosing a company? Our editors look at the best of the best and show you what to pay attention to. We skip over companies we wouldn't use ourselves or recommend to friends. Instead, we focus on the ones that are actually worth it and help you tell the difference between good and truly great.
When you see our 1 to 5 ratings (1 is not so great, 5 is excellent), it means our editors figured out what really matters and compared each company to the best of the best.
Multiple “Best for” Companies. One “Best for You.”
There’s not always one company that’s perfect for everyone. Sometimes there are a few great choices, and the best one depends on what matters most to you. That’s why we highlight different “best for” picks, so you can find the company that fits you just right.
Our editors break down complicated financial ideas into easily digestible terms.
