How we decide what to publish
Money content deserves a higher bar than most of the web applies. Here is the standard every page on Loans Advisor is held to.
Sourcing
Every rate, statistic, and claim is attributed to a named source — a government series, a regulator, an industry survey, or primary documentation — and carries the date it was pulled. We favor primary sources (the Federal Reserve, Freddie Mac, the CFPB, the Department of Education) over secondary aggregators, and we link out so you can check us.
Review
Content that could affect a financial decision is written by a subject-matter writer and checked by a reviewer before publication. Where a page carries a "Reviewed by" line, a second person has verified its numbers and framing. Reviewers can send a draft back; nothing publishes on deadline pressure alone.
Dating and updates
Rate-driven pages show an "Updated" stamp and refresh on the cadence of their underlying data — weekly for mortgages, less often for series that report quarterly. When a fact changes materially, we update the page and its date rather than leaving stale numbers in place.
Independence
Advertising and any future partner placements are labeled and kept structurally separate from editorial judgment. A partner cannot buy a better review, a higher ranking, or a changed number. If that ever stops being true, this page will say so. See how we make money for the full arrangement.
Corrections
We fix errors promptly and openly. If you spot one, tell us through the contact page and we will correct the record and note the change where it matters.
