Our Mission
To empower expatriates with clear, accurate, and independent financial information, enabling them to make informed decisions about managing their money across borders, with an initial focus on Germany and expanding globally.
Core Principles
- Accuracy & Verification: Financial accuracy is our highest priority. All factual data, including rates, fees, regulatory requirements, and tax information, is meticulously researched and verified using authoritative sources (e.g., financial institutions, tax authorities, official government publications). Information is reviewed by editors knowledgeable in the subject matter.
- Objectivity & Impartiality: We are committed to providing unbiased information. We use objective criteria and transparent methodologies when evaluating financial products, services, or strategies. Our analysis aims to present a balanced view, highlighting both pros and cons. Personal opinions of writers are clearly distinguished from objective analysis.
- Sourcing & Attribution: We rely on credible, authoritative sources for financial information. Sources are cited where appropriate. Content discussing complex financial topics may be written or reviewed by individuals with relevant financial expertise or qualifications, or based on thorough research of expert consensus.
- Clarity & Simplicity: We strive to demystify complex financial topics. We explain financial terminology in plain language and present information in a clear, structured, and accessible manner. Our goal is to make international finance understandable for a non-expert audience.
- User Focus: Our content is designed to address the specific financial challenges and questions faced by expatriates, particularly concerning cross-border issues, local regulations (initially German), and long-term financial planning.
- Strict Editorial Independence: Our editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial considerations. While the site may be funded through affiliate links or advertising, these relationships do not influence our content, product reviews, or recommendations. A clear separation exists between our editorial and business development teams. All potential conflicts of interest or revenue sources are transparently disclosed.
- Regular Updates: Financial information, regulations, and market conditions change frequently. We have established processes for regularly reviewing and updating our content to ensure it remains current and accurate. Publication or update dates are indicated.
- Writer Qualifications: Contributors writing on specialized financial topics are expected to possess relevant experience, qualifications, or demonstrate rigorous research capabilities using primary, authoritative sources.
- Reader Feedback: We welcome feedback on our content. If you identify potential inaccuracies or areas for improvement, please get in touch with us with our contact form. We commit to reviewing feedback quickly and making the necessary corrections.
