    Editorial Policy

    Editorial Policy

    Fintech Today News is committed to delivering accurate, fair, and independent journalism focused on Nigeria’s fintech and digital finance ecosystem.

    This Editorial Policy outlines how we source, produce, and review our content, ensuring transparency and trust for readers, industry stakeholders, and regulators.

    Editorial Independence

    Fintech Today News operates with full editorial independence. Editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers, sponsors, political groups, or commercial partners.

    Sponsored content, partnerships, or paid placements—where applicable—are clearly labelled and separated from editorial reporting.

    Accuracy and Fact-Checking

    • We verify information using primary sources such as regulatory statements, company disclosures, official filings, and direct interviews.
    • Claims are cross-checked against multiple credible sources where possible.
    • Data, figures, and statistics are attributed to their original sources.
    • Errors identified after publication are corrected promptly and transparently.

    Sources and Attribution

    Fintech Today News relies on:

    • Official statements from regulatory bodies such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)
    • Corporate announcements and financial disclosures
    • Reputable media organizations and industry reports
    • On-the-record interviews and expert commentary

    Anonymous sources are used sparingly and only when necessary to protect individuals from harm or retaliation.

    Corrections Policy

    If an error is discovered:

    • Corrections are made as quickly as possible
    • Updates are clearly noted within the article
    • Substantial corrections are acknowledged openly

    Readers may report errors via the website’s contact page.

    Separation of News and Opinion

    • News articles are written to be factual and neutral.
    • Opinion and analysis pieces are clearly labelled and reflect the views of the author, not necessarily those of Fintech Today News.
    • Headlines are written to inform, not to mislead or exaggerate.

    Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

    • Contributors must disclose any financial, professional, or personal relationships that could present a conflict of interest.
    • We do not accept gifts, payments, or incentives in exchange for coverage.
    • Financial interests are disclosed where relevant.

    Use of Artificial Intelligence

    AI tools may be used to assist with research, transcription, or drafting. All published content is reviewed by human editors to ensure accuracy, originality, and editorial integrity.

    User-Generated Content and Comments

    • Comments and user submissions are moderated for relevance, civility, and legality.
    • Hate speech, misinformation, spam, and abusive content are removed.
    • Fintech Today News reserves the right to edit or remove user content that violates these standards.
