We help Americans make smarter money decisions.
DollarScout is an independent review site that evaluates financial products — brokers, banks, credit cards, insurance, and more — so you can choose the right option for your situation with confidence.
What we do
We write in-depth reviews, side-by-side comparisons, and rankings for financial products available to US consumers. Every piece of content is grounded in hands-on testing, public filings and disclosures where applicable, and verified user feedback.
Our goal is to save you the hours of research you'd otherwise spend comparing brokers, banks, or credit cards. Instead of wading through fine print, you get a clear recommendation, the reasoning behind it, and a side-by-side comparison of the top alternatives.
We cover 10 financial categories: investing, trading, research, crypto, personal finance, banking, insurance, credit cards, loans, and taxes. Each category has a full editorial team behind it.
How we make money
DollarScout is free for readers. When you sign up for a product through one of our referral links, we may earn a commission from the financial institution. This is standard in the industry and allows us to keep all of our content free and publicly accessible.
Commissions never affect how we rank or recommend products. Our editorial team is independent from our business team. Rankings are set before we negotiate any partnership, and we regularly include products that don't pay us a commission in our lists when they're the best choice.
Our promise
Rankings are set by editors, not sponsors.
Every product is tested hands-on before we recommend it.
We disclose affiliate relationships on every page.
