How Our Articles Are Made

We want to be plain about this. Many articles on Dollar Interest are researched and written by AI tools, working from official sources such as CPF Board, MAS, IRAS, MOH, HDB and each provider's own pages. An article may be published without a member of our team reviewing it first.

  • Each article lists the sources it relied on, so you can check any figure yourself.
  • Each article shows when it was published and, where relevant, updated. Assume an article has not been reviewed by a person unless we say otherwise.
  • AI research can be wrong, out of date or incomplete. Treat every figure as a starting point and confirm it with the official source before you act.
  • Article photographs are AI-generated illustrations. They do not show real people or events.
  • If you find an error, tell us and we will correct it.

Independence

Our editorial team decides what we cover and what we conclude. Advertisers, affiliate partners and sponsors have no say over our articles, rankings or headlines. Sponsored content is labelled "Sponsored" and is kept separate from our own reporting.

Sources

We rely on primary sources: government agencies and regulators (CPF Board, MOM, IRAS, MAS, MoneySense, HDB, SDIC, MOH, OPG) and the product provider's own published terms. Each article lists its sources at the end.

Fact-Checking And Review Dates

  • Our writing tools are instructed to take every rate, limit, age, fee and date from an official or primary source, with the year it applies to. This is an automated process and is not a guarantee of accuracy.
  • Some articles are re-checked figure by figure against their official sources in a separate automated fact-check pass; that check is also done with AI tools and is not a guarantee.
  • When a rule changes, we aim to update the affected articles and show the new "updated" date.

Education, Not Advice

Our content is general information. It does not consider your objectives, financial situation or needs. We do not recommend specific insurance or investment products, and we do not rank insurance policies or funds. Where we compare named products or services, such as credit cards or brokers, we compare them on a measure we state, such as fees or earn rates; that is not a recommendation that any of them suits you. Projections are illustrations with stated assumptions, never guarantees, and non-guaranteed returns are always described as such.

We cannot answer questions about your own finances individually or tell you what to buy, sell or keep. Dollar Interest is not a licensed financial adviser.

Corrections

We fix factual errors as soon as we confirm them, whether an article was written by a person or by AI. Significant corrections are noted at the end of the article with the date.

Calculators

Our calculators were also built with AI tools from published rules. They give estimates for education, show their assumptions and sources, and may contain errors. Confirm important results with the official calculator or the agency concerned.
