Editorial policy: how Lex writes and checks its guides
The Lex editorial policy is how Lex writes its guides: from primary sources, checked against the app, in three languages.
Who writes and who reviews
The guides are signed by the Lex Team. A person’s name appears on a guide only after that person has read it and agreed to be named. Lex does not use invented authors or fictional profiles. Lex prepares the guides with the help of AI tools from the primary sources linked in each guide.
Sources
The guides use primary sources, including central banks, payment-system operators, issuer documents, and protocol documentation. Sources are linked in the text and listed again at the end of each guide. Before a substantive update, Lex rechecks the claims that can change.
What the guides say about Lex
Lex checks product descriptions against the app. Each guide separates how a payment system or an asset works from what Lex offers. Availability and quotes depend on your account and provider, so check the app for the methods and conditions available to your account.
Examples and comparisons
Examples are illustrative. A guide claims a saving over another provider only with dated, comparable quotes: the same funding, destination, and amount, with all applicable costs. When you have alternatives, the guide compares them and says plainly what Lex does less well.
Dates
“Published” is the date a guide first appeared. “Updated” appears only after a substantive change to the content, and shows the date of the latest one.
Three languages
Every guide is published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with the same sections in each language. The three versions are edited together.
General information, not advice
The guides are general information, not investment, legal, or tax advice. Lex is a financial technology company, not a bank, broker, or investment adviser.
Corrections
If you find an error in a guide, write to hello@getlex.com.
Who publishes the guides
The guides are published by Gingham Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Lex, the financial technology company that operates the Lex app. Each guide includes a section about Lex.
