How OfferRadar Verifies Bank Offers
Learn how OfferRadar separates source-reviewed bank promotions from unpublished research records and flags details that need another review.
01
Start with an official source
A publishable record needs a provider-controlled source that supports the visible promotion details. Search snippets, third-party summaries, and old screenshots are not treated as current terms.
- ✓Record the official source URL
- ✓Match the account and promotion names
- ✓Check geographic and customer eligibility
- ✓Do not infer missing terms
02
Review the requirements field by field
The editorial review checks the displayed value, qualifying activity, timing, fees, expiration language, and restrictions against the source. Unclear or conflicting fields are marked for review instead of filled with assumptions.
- ✓Check deposit definitions
- ✓Record timing and holding periods
- ✓Review fees and waivers
- ✓Flag unresolved conflicts
03
Publish cautiously and recheck
Only source-supported records belong in public comparisons. A later review may confirm, update, expire, or remove a record when the provider source changes.
- ✓Show the review date
- ✓Keep operational notes private
- ✓Send detected changes to editorial review
- ✓Ask readers to verify current terms
