THE FIN DESK
Standards

Editorial Policy

The Fin Desk is committed to accurate, original and independent reporting on financial technology and infrastructure.

Sourcing

We prefer primary sources wherever possible: regulators, central banks, government agencies, official company announcements, investor relations, exchange filings and official press releases. Secondary financial publications are used for context and confirmation.

Originality

We never copy another publication's article or reproduce substantial portions of source material. Our articles are original reporting summaries, explainers or analysis based on researched facts, using multiple sources where practical.

Accuracy

We never invent company announcements, regulatory decisions, partnerships, funding rounds, acquisition values, statistics, quotations, executives, job titles or dates. Material facts that cannot be verified are flagged rather than asserted.

Editorial automation

The Fin Desk uses an assistive editorial research agent to discover developments, research primary sources and prepare drafts. No article is published without human review and approval.
