RateChecker.com is published by Astoria Company. Questions about this policy can be sent through our contact page.
Our standards
- Accuracy: articles should be accurate when they are published or updated. Our standard is to rely on primary sources such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), HUD, the FHFA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and to link to them where that helps readers check a point.
- Limits: Articles are general information, not financial, tax or legal advice. Rates and terms depend on the lender and your situation.
- Updates: Mortgage rates, loan limits and lending rules change over time. When we learn that a fact in an article has changed, we update the article.
- Independence: Our standard is that articles explain options and trade-offs rather than promote a single company.
How we make money
