Editorial standards

Mortgage Insider is committed to reporting that is accurate, fair and useful to New Zealand’s mortgage and adviser industry.

Our editorial approach is based on transparency, clear sourcing and a responsibility to publish information that professionals can rely on.

We aim to ensure that every story is factually correct at the time of publication. We use information from direct sources, official data releases, published documents, interviews and on-the-record statements.

Where material is supplied by lenders, aggregators, advisers or other organisations, it is checked for accuracy and context before publication.

We correct mistakes promptly. If an error is identified, we update the story and note the correction when appropriate. Readers can contact us with correction requests through the details provided on our Contact page.

We separate editorial content from advertising and commercial partnerships. Sponsored material is clearly identified so readers can distinguish between independent reporting and paid content.

Quotes are used accurately and without alteration. When views or commentary are provided by industry figures, they are presented in the context intended by the speaker.

We avoid conflicts of interest. Any potential conflict involving contributors, editors or commercial arrangements is managed openly and appropriately. Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors or commercial partners.

We report across New Zealand and reflect the diversity of the mortgage industry, including banks, non-banks, aggregators, advisers, regulators and regional markets. Our goal is to provide information that helps advisers and industry professionals make informed decisions in their work.

These standards may be updated from time to time to ensure our practices remain aligned with industry expectations and responsible journalism.
