Transparency First
How We Rate & Review
Our ratings are data-driven, independently produced, and never influenced by advertisers. Here's exactly how we do it.
Editorial Independence
Greesi's editorial team operates completely independently from our business team. Advertisers have zero input on our ratings, rankings, or review content. Affiliate relationships may exist with some products we review — we disclose this clearly — but they never affect our scores.
How We Score Banks
Each bank is scored across five weighted categories:
We compare savings APY against the national average, evaluate fee structures, test mobile apps, and analyze FDIC insurance and ATM reimbursement policies.
How We Score Credit Cards
Credit cards are evaluated on:
We calculate real-world rewards value based on a $2,000/mo spend profile, then weigh signup bonuses, foreign transaction fees, travel credits, and APR ranges.
How We Score Investing Platforms
Brokerage and investing platform scores are based on:
We test each platform's interface, evaluate research tools, check options and fractional share availability, and compare robo-advisor fees against industry benchmarks.
How Often We Update
All reviews are audited monthly and updated whenever a product changes its rates, fees, or features. APY rates are checked weekly against published bank data. Each review shows a "Last Reviewed" date so you always know how fresh the information is.
