Corrections Policy:
Corrections Policy
Trust is the absolute foundation of CompareAccounts.com. Because our readers rely on our data to make important decisions about their money, we strive for 100% factual accuracy. However, when we make an error, we believe in fixing it as soon as possible.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Our editorial team conducts rigorous fact-checking before any review or guide is published. Furthermore, we perform routine audits of our content to ensure that highly variable data, such as Annual Percentage Yields (APYs), monthly maintenance fees, and promotional cash bonuses, reflects the current market reality.
How We Handle Corrections
If a factual error is discovered in our content—whether identified by our internal audit team, a financial institution, or a reader—we will take the following steps:
- Immediate Review: Our editorial team will instantly cross-reference the claim against primary sources (such as the bank's official fee schedule or deposit agreement).
- Prompt Updates: If an error is verified, we will correct the text, data, or comparison table as quickly as possible.
- Transparent Disclosure: For significant factual errors that alter the core recommendation of an article, we will append a transparent "Editor's Note" to the top or bottom of the page explaining what was changed and when. For routine updates (such as a bank officially changing its APY), we will clearly update the "Last Updated" timestamp at the top of the article.
