This page explains how Plain Ledger's content is produced. Plain Ledger is published by FUSION TECH; editorial content is written by Maverick Sloan.

How we work

  1. Research

    Read Listerhill's own published pages and relevant official sources.

  2. Cross-check

    Compare each statement against its source and attribute the credit union's own claims.

  3. Write

    Explain in plain English, separating facts from opinion.

  4. Review

    Check for accuracy, promotional language and anything that could read as an offer.

  5. Update

    Re-check periodically, correct errors and update the review date.

Editorial independence

Plain Ledger is independent of Listerhill Credit Union. Listerhill does not commission, review, approve or pay for any content, and Plain Ledger does not accept paid endorsements from the credit union.

Source selection

  • Facts about Listerhill Credit Union come from its own public website and published materials.
  • General information about deposit insurance and consumer protection comes from official public sources, such as the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
  • Each page lists its sources and the date the Listerhill material was last reviewed.

Fact checking

Where a statement is the credit union's own claim, for example about its size, rankings or awards, the text attributes it to the credit union rather than presenting it as independently verified. Statements that cannot be traced to a source are not published.

Rates and changing details

Plain Ledger does not publish current interest rates, APRs, APYs or fees, because they change often. Readers are directed to Listerhill Credit Union's official website instead. Any worked number on the site is a clearly labeled hypothetical example used to explain a concept, not a rate offered by anyone.

Opinion versus fact

The editorial review is the author's opinion, based on publicly available information, and is labeled as such. It is not a statement by Listerhill Credit Union and does not describe personal experiences as a member. Other chapters aim to be factual and neutral.

No testimonials, no invented details

Plain Ledger does not publish testimonials, customer stories or ratings, and does not invent experiences, credentials or statistics.

Corrections

If you spot an error, email contact@readplainledger.com with the page and the correction. Verified corrections are made promptly and the review date is updated.

Verify current information

Because details change, always confirm current information with Listerhill Credit Union's official website before making a decision.

Funding

Plain Ledger is funded by FUSION TECH. It receives nothing from Listerhill Credit Union and has no affiliate links. FUSION TECH pays for search advertising to help people find the guide. Advertising pays for visibility only and has no influence on content.
