How fresh are the rates and offers shown?

Rate and offer data is reviewed on a recurring cadence and every offer module shows review context or links to the methodology and disclosure pages.

Where can I see the ranking methodology?

The SwitchWize methodology page explains how rate freshness, editorial review, affiliate disclosure, and category ranking factors work.

Can Money Map use this result?

Yes. Money Map is the broader diagnostic path: it compares savings, mortgage, cards, and debt so you can see whether this calculator result is your highest-impact next move.
