Fintech news for the people who build it, fund it and regulate it.
THE NEWSROOM
Premium readers and serious sources are entitled to know how a publication is built. This page is the public version of our internal standards — the sourcing, the conflicts policy, the corrections log, and the channels that protect people who tell us things.
LAST REVIEWED · 24 APR 2026 · BY THE EDITOR

OUR PROMISES TO READERS
01
We verify before we publish.
If a story is not ready, it does not run. We would rather be second and right than first and sorry.
02
We protect our sources.
We never burn a source. We absorb legal risk before we expose anyone who told us the truth.
03
We tell you when we were wrong.
Corrections are public, dated and named. Significant errors are republished in the next Ledger.
The eight rules every reporter and editor at Fintechly works to. Read in full, in plain English.
01
Every piece of original reporting is sourced. We aim for at least two independent, knowledgeable sources on any material claim. We do not run anonymous quotes that exist only to attack named parties. Where we cite documents, we have read them in full ourselves.
02
We grant anonymity to sources who would face professional, legal or personal consequences for speaking on the record. We do not grant it for convenience. We disclose, in plain language inside the story, why a source has been granted it.
03
We honour reasonable embargoes that are agreed in advance. We do not honour retroactive embargoes. We will not embargo information that is materially in the public interest.
04
Reporters and editors cannot own equity in any company they cover, or write about a company in which a spouse, partner or first-degree relative is an employee, board member or material shareholder. Recusals are documented internally and disclosed to readers when relevant.
05
Anything paid for by a sponsor is marked PARTNER CONTENT in the same mono label as our own sections, in equal weight, on every surface. Sponsors do not see editorial copy before publication and have no influence over headlines, framing or selection.
06
We use machine-assisted tools for transcription, translation, code search and visual production. We do not generate quotes, paraphrase sources, fabricate scenes or auto-publish copy. Every published sentence is read and approved by a human editor.
07
Anyone named in a critical piece is contacted in advance with a fair opportunity to comment, with sufficient notice for a considered response. Their position is represented in the published piece, in their own words wherever possible.
08
When we get something wrong, we correct it in the original piece, mark the change clearly, and log the correction publicly on this page. Significant corrections are also republished in the next edition of The Ledger.
Pitch a story, propose an interview, request a correction, or get in touch about commercial partnerships. Each route goes to a named editor — not a triage queue.
