How we write about money
Lodavo publishes guides, comparisons, and explainers to help Canadians save with a little more upside. This page is about how we write them: who is behind the words, and how we keep every figure accurate and sourced.

Our editorial standards
Accuracy first
Every figure is checked against a primary source (CDIC, the Bank of Canada, Statistics Canada, the FCAC, the CRA) and dated. We never publish a stat we can’t source, and we don’t invent numbers or ratings.
Honest about the product
We always describe Lodavo honestly. We’re just as clear about our role: we explain how saving works, but we’re not financial advisors, so the decisions are always yours.
Kept current
Rates and prices change, so we date every guide and revisit it when the facts move.
Fair to everyone we mention
When we compare Lodavo to other apps, we describe them accurately and name where they’re the better fit.
