How We Research

Every article on Pube Finance follows a documented research process. We verify every number against a primary source, disclose every financial relationship, and update published content when the facts change.

Where Our Data Comes From

We use primary sources first. That means federal agencies (IRS.gov, CFPB.gov, FDIC.gov, SSA.gov), the Federal Reserve, official bank and lender disclosures, SEC filings, and peer-reviewed research. We link directly to these sources in every article.

When primary source data is unavailable, we use secondary sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census Bureau surveys, and established industry research firms. Secondary sources are always identified.

How We Verify Facts

Before a number appears in an article, we check it against the source document. Interest rates, eligibility rules, income limits, and program details are verified at the time of writing. Each article includes a “Sources” section at the bottom listing every reference.

We do not fabricate statistics, invent quotes, or round numbers beyond what the source provides. If a fact cannot be verified, the sentence is cut.

How We Handle Updates

Financial information changes frequently. When we become aware of a material change — a new interest rate, an updated income limit, a modified program rule — we update the article and change the “Last reviewed” date in the byline.

We aim to review high-traffic articles at least every 30 days. Lower-traffic articles are reviewed quarterly.

Our Editorial Independence

Pube Finance is not affiliated with any government agency, bank, or financial institution. No financial institution has editorial input or approval rights over our content. If an article contains affiliate links, that relationship is disclosed at the top of the article.

Corrections Policy

If you find an error in any article, email us at contact@pube.finance with the article URL and the specific correction needed. We investigate every report and publish corrections promptly. Material corrections are noted at the top of the article.

What We Do Not Do

We do not provide personalized financial advice. We do not collect personal financial information. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. We do not fabricate scenarios, statistics, or reviewer identities.
