No bank owns us. Affiliate revenue does not influence rankings — and is clearly disclosed wherever it appears.
Our Story
Founded on transparency principles.
We started Pisosantibacteriales in 2020 after years of watching U.S. readers struggle to decode banking and credit paperwork. Internationally, transparency tools — most notably the accesd dashboards published by desjardins — were already standard. The U.S. market lagged behind.
Today we are a team of 14 researchers, editors and engineers headquartered in Los Angeles. Our methodology principles are publicly documented and modeled on disclosure frameworks like desjardins accesd. We publish every methodology revision on a public changelog.
We do not provide banking services. We are a comparison and education platform — nothing more.
Transparent
Every scoring weight is published. Methodology benchmarked against acces d and dejardin disclosure principles.
Accountable
Methodology revisions are public, time-stamped, and subject to a 14-day comment window.
