Editorial Policy

    Our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and putting users first in everything we publish.

    Our Editorial Standards

    Accuracy: We strive for 100% accuracy in all card data, fees, rates, and features. When we're uncertain about something, we say so clearly.

    Objectivity: Our content is based on facts and research, not opinions or marketing claims. We present information that helps you make informed decisions.

    User-First: Every piece of content we create asks one question: "Does this help our users?" If it doesn't, we don't publish it.

    Independence: Our editorial team operates separately from business partnerships. Advertisers cannot influence our content, rankings, or recommendations.

    How We Research

    Our credit card data comes from multiple sources, verified for accuracy:

    • Official bank websites: We pull data directly from bank product pages and key fact statements
    • Bank documentation: Terms and conditions, fee schedules, and product brochures
    • Direct verification: When data is unclear, we contact banks directly for clarification
    • Regulatory sources: UAE Central Bank guidelines and disclosures

    We do not rely on press releases or marketing materials as primary sources. All data points are verified against official documentation.

    How We Evaluate Cards

    Our recommendation engine considers multiple factors when matching cards to users:

    Eligibility Factors

    • • Minimum salary requirements
    • • Employment type requirements
    • • Salary transfer requirements
    • • Islamic banking preferences

    Value Factors

    • • Annual fees vs. benefits received
    • • Rewards rates and categories
    • • Welcome bonuses
    • • Lifestyle-specific perks

    We don't have a simple "star rating" system because the best card depends entirely on your individual situation. A premium travel card might be perfect for a frequent flyer but wasteful for someone who rarely travels.

    How We Stay Current

    Banks frequently update their products, fees, and terms. Here's how we keep our information current:

    • Regular audits: We review our entire card database monthly for changes
    • News monitoring: We track bank announcements and product launches
    • User reports: Readers can report outdated information, which we verify and update
    • Direct relationships: Banks notify us of significant product changes

    Despite our best efforts, changes may occasionally slip through. If you notice outdated information, please let us know.

    Corrections Policy

    We take errors seriously. When we discover or are informed of an error:

    • We verify the correction with official sources
    • We update the content as quickly as possible
    • For significant errors, we note that the content has been corrected

    Found an error? Email us at hello@creditmatchuae.com with the details and a source for the correct information.

    Editorial Independence

    Our editorial content is completely independent from our business relationships. Advertisers and partners have no influence over:

    • Which cards we recommend
    • How we describe or review products
    • The order in which cards appear
    • Our editorial opinions or advice
