Finance Domain aims to publish useful, understandable and responsibly researched financial information for South African readers.
Accuracy and sourcing
Writers should prefer primary and authoritative sources for factual claims, including regulators, government departments, legislation, banks, insurers and recognised research organisations where relevant. Time-sensitive facts such as rates, fees, thresholds and rules should be verified close to publication.
Independence
Editorial conclusions should not be dictated by advertisers. Sponsored, affiliate or advertising relationships should be disclosed where applicable and should not be presented as independent editorial evidence.
Credentials and experience
Finance Domain does not fabricate qualifications, professional status, product testing, quotes, statistics or personal experience. Authors should only claim expertise or experience they can substantiate.
Updates and corrections
Materially outdated or inaccurate information should be corrected or updated, with the article’s updated date shown where appropriate. Significant factual corrections should follow the Corrections Policy.
Responsible financial coverage
Content should explain risks and limitations and avoid guaranteed outcomes, pressure tactics or personalised recommendations that are unsupported by the author’s role and evidence.
