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, how we keep every figure accurate and sourced, and how Lodavo makes money. (For the app itself, Lodavo is Canada’s first prize-linked savings app, built in Montreal.)

Our editorial standards
Accuracy first
This is money content, so 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, ratings, or user counts.
Plain about the product
We always describe Lodavo honestly: it is a free prize-linked savings app that connects to your bank read-only through Plaid. It holds no money and can never move a cent. Your savings stay in your own account.
Kept current
Rates, prices, and bank-connection details change. We show a published or updated date on every guide and revisit pages when the facts move.
Fair to everyone we mention
When we compare Lodavo to other apps, we describe competitors accurately, name where they are the better fit, and link to their official sources.
How Lodavo makes money
Lodavo is free, with no subscription and no fees. Prizes are funded by partnerships and sponsors, not by your deposits, and there is no purchase necessary to enter the weekly draw. We don’t sell your personal data. Because we never hold or move your money, our interests stay aligned with yours: we win when you keep saving in your own bank account.
