Data Transparency & Integrity

In an age where data defines how we live and think, data integrity has become a critical pillar of our society. At Authority.inc, we recognize that the financial decisions made by businesses and individuals have profound impacts on their futures. That's why we've built our platform on an unwavering commitment to truth, accuracy, and transparency.

No Commercial Conflicts

Unlike many comparison sites that profit from affiliate relationships or paid placements, Authority.inc operates on a fundamentally different model. We do not accept payment from financial institutions to influence our rankings. We do not feature sponsored listings. We do not hide better options below paid placements. Every ranking reflects objective criteria, not payment incentives.

Rigorous Verification Process

Our data verification process is multi-layered and thorough. For each financial product or service:

• We collect information from official regulatory filings and public disclosures
• We verify details directly with financial institutions
• We cross-reference data across multiple independent sources
• We monitor for changes and updates continuously
• We flag any discrepancies for manual review by our editorial team

Methodology Transparency

We believe you should understand exactly how we evaluate financial products. Our ranking methodology is based on objective, measurable factors including pricing, features, customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance, and financial stability. We assign weights to different criteria based on what matters most to users in each category, and we're transparent about those weights.

Expert Human Review

While we leverage advanced AI and data processing capabilities, every piece of content on Authority.inc is reviewed by experienced financial services professionals. Rob Watts, our lead reviewer and former Senior Editor at BankRate, brings over a decade of expertise in evaluating financial products. This combination of data-driven analysis and human expertise ensures both accuracy and context.

Continuous Improvement

We're constantly refining our methodology based on feedback from users and industry developments. When we make changes to how we evaluate products, we document those changes and explain our reasoning. Transparency isn't just about showing our current process, it's about being open about how we evolve.

Our Promise

We promise to maintain these standards without compromise. As we grow and expand our coverage across finance sectors, our commitment to unbiased, verified data remains our north star. You can trust that when you use Authority.inc to make financial decisions, you're seeing the truth, not what someone paid us to show you.

Trust the data. Make better financial decisions.
