askmyfinance.com covers credit cards, personal loans, debt consolidation, and savings accounts. Our goal is to give you accurate, useful information so you can make a good decision — not to push you toward any particular product.
How we research content
We base our content on primary sources wherever possible. Those include:
- Federal Reserve data (interest rate benchmarks, consumer credit data)
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) guidelines and complaint databases
- Direct lender rate sheets and product terms
- FDIC data for savings and deposit products
We do not rely on press releases or marketing materials from lenders as the basis for editorial claims. When we report an APR range or a minimum credit score requirement, that figure comes from the lender’s current published terms or a primary regulatory source.
Affiliate relationships
askmyfinance.com earns affiliate commissions when readers apply for or open financial products through links on this site. Every page that contains affiliate links includes a disclosure at the top.
Affiliate relationships do not influence which products we recommend or how we rank them. We do not accept payment for placement in comparison tables or product reviews. Our recommendations are based on product terms, eligibility criteria, and fit for the described use case — not on commission rate.
How we score and rank products
We evaluate financial products on: APR or interest rate, fees (annual, origination, late), minimum credit score requirements, approval accessibility for the target credit profile, rewards or cash back value where applicable, and customer service ratings from the CFPB complaint database.
Update frequency
Rate content is reviewed and updated monthly. The review date appears at the top of every article that includes rate data.
Corrections policy
If you believe something on this site is inaccurate, email chris@dominatethemarketplace.net with the URL and the specific claim. We will review within five business days and correct confirmed errors.
Independence statement
askmyfinance.com operates independently. Affiliate fees and advertising revenue do not influence editorial recommendations, product rankings, or the inclusion or exclusion of any lender or product from our content. Chris Shupe has final editorial authority over all content published on this site.
