Editorial Policy
Our Commitment to Quality
At Econello, we understand that financial information belongs to the Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) category — content that can directly impact a reader’s financial wellbeing, decisions, and long-term security. That responsibility shapes everything we do. Whether we are reviewing a loan provider, comparing savings accounts, or explaining how interest rates work, we hold ourselves to the highest editorial standards to ensure every piece of content is accurate, fair, and genuinely useful.
Our mission is to help readers across Sweden and beyond make informed, confident financial decisions. We do not take that mission lightly. Every guide, review, and article published on Econello.com is produced with care, verified against reliable sources, and written by qualified professionals who understand personal finance.
How We Create Content
Our content creation process begins with thorough research. Before a single word is written, our editorial team identifies the key questions readers need answered, gathers data from authoritative sources, and reviews current market conditions. We do not rely on assumptions or secondhand information — we go directly to the source.
All content on Econello is written or reviewed by experienced financial writers and analysts. Our lead author, David Nilsson, Financial Writer and Personal Finance Analyst, oversees the editorial direction of the website and ensures that published content meets our internal quality benchmarks. Contributors are selected based on their expertise in personal finance, banking, lending, investing, and related fields.
We also conduct hands-on research where possible — including reviewing the actual terms, conditions, and fee structures of financial products — so our comparisons and reviews reflect real-world accuracy rather than marketing materials.
Our Editorial Standards
Our Review Process
Every piece of content on Econello goes through a structured, multi-step editorial process before it reaches our readers:
- Research: Our writers gather information from official sources, regulatory bodies, company disclosures, and financial databases.
- Writing: Content is drafted by a qualified financial writer with relevant subject matter expertise.
- Fact-Checking: All claims, figures, and product details are independently verified before publication.
- Editorial Review: The content is reviewed for clarity, accuracy, tone, and compliance with our editorial standards.
- Publication: Once approved, content is published with appropriate disclosures and source references.
- Ongoing Updates: Published content is monitored and revised whenever significant changes occur in the subject matter.
Sources We Trust
Econello relies on authoritative and credible sources to support the information we publish. These include, but are not limited to:
- Financial regulators: Finansinspektionen (Sweden), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and other national regulatory bodies
- Central banks: Sveriges Riksbank, the European Central Bank (ECB), and the Bank of England
- Government agencies: Swedish Consumer Agency (Konsumentverket), Skatteverket, and equivalent bodies in other jurisdictions
- Official company data: Annual reports, product terms and conditions, and official press releases from financial institutions
- Academic and industry research: Peer-reviewed studies and reports from established financial research organizations
We do not cite anonymous sources, unverified social media content, or promotional materials as factual evidence.
Updates and Corrections
Despite our rigorous process, errors can occasionally occur. When a factual error is identified — whether by our team or reported by a reader — we take immediate steps to investigate and correct it. Corrections are made transparently, and where appropriate, a note is added to the relevant article to acknowledge the change.
Routine content updates are carried out on a rolling basis, with high-traffic and time-sensitive pages prioritized. Our goal is to ensure that no reader makes a financial decision based on outdated or incorrect information published on our website.
