Editorial policy

Last updated 26 October 2026

This page explains how the content on The Finance Linkup is made, so you can decide how far to trust it.

Purpose

We publish general money education for people in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean. We aim to explain, not to sell. We do not give personal advice.

How lessons are written

Each lesson explains one idea in plain language, with examples in TT dollars where useful.
We state the risks as well as the benefits, and we avoid promises about returns.
Facts such as rules, rates and fees are checked against official sources, for example the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, the Trinidad and Tobago Securities and Exchange Commission and the Board of Inland Revenue, and we say when something changes often.
Some drafting is assisted by AI writing tools. The site owner is responsible for what is published.

How news summaries work

We read the original report and write our own short summary, then link to the source so you can read the full story. We do not copy articles, photographs or logos. Where a figure comes from a government statement or a second-hand summary, we say so. Each story carries a date, and the news page shows when it was last reviewed. Market figures are snapshots and change quickly.

When sources disagree

Official figures and rules are sometimes reported differently by different sources, or change after we publish. When we find a conflict, we say so, show the sources and send you to the official website, such as the Ministry of Finance, the Board of Inland Revenue or the Central Bank. Our job is to explain the ideas and show you where to look. We do not tell you which option to choose, and the decision is always yours.

Independence and advertising

We do not accept payment to write about, rank or recommend any product, bank, broker or company.
We do not run sponsored articles or affiliate links at this time. If that ever changes, it will be clearly labelled.
This site may show ads from an advertising network. Ads are separate from the lessons and news and never influence what we write.

Corrections

If you spot a mistake, tell us through the Contact page. We correct errors promptly and update the "last updated" date on the page.

Not advice

Everything here is for education only. See the disclaimer.
