Outdated info

Hi all. I updated some obvious info in the description, like an old logo and some more up-to-date key people, but wondering what to do with old info like deadlinks for revenue and employee figures from when Bankrate was publically traded. As the article notes, they're a private company now so I don't think any of that info is updatable with new info. Anybody else have good guidance on whether we keep it or delete it? There seems to be a bunch of outdated info on the page too, so I'll see if there's any good sources for anything new. Eventhewise (talk) 14:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Outdated information

Hi all. I’m reaching out on behalf of Bankrate.com to request a few factual updates to the Wikipedia page about Bankrate to ensure that the article remains current and accurate. These facts can be verified via independent third-party sources.

For full transparency, I work for Bankrate. I am able to provide accurate information and third-party sources but would like to request other editors make updates to the page in respect to community guidelines.

1. Leadership update
   1. The article currently lists outdated information regarding Bankrate’s key people: Greg McBride, CFA
   2. The current Chief Executive Officer is Matt Fellowes. Greg McBride, CFA left Bankrate in September 2025 and currently is employed at Torticity
   3. Third-party sources:  
      1. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bankrate-appoints-matt-fellowes-ceo-100000768.html
      2. https://apnews.com/press-release/business-wire/bankrate-appoints-matt-fellowes-as-ceo-3375fba4872d4bfa9f62c02aba6d611c
      3. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/greg-mcbride-cfa-6102106_please-extend-a-warm-welcome-to-greg-mcbride-activity-7374863090737184770-lSeW?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADI0NB4BnwOXHmqRuqrfAZtiXqXk2oo7GFs
2. Office locations
   1. The page currently says: Bankrate, LLC is a consumer financial services company based in New York City.
   2. Can we please correct the above to note that Bankrate’s offices are currently located in:
      1. New York, NY
      2. Charlotte, NC
      3. West Palm Beach, FL
   3. Third-party references verifying these locations:
      1. https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/west-palm-beach/profile/financial-services/bankrate-llc-0633-90546433
3. Introduction
   1. What is currently said: Bankrate contains AI-generated articles, and is included on Wikipedia's spam blacklist due to its lack of credibility.
   2. The source for that note points to an article written about CNET (reference) which is another company that was once owned by Red Ventures not Bankrate. Therefore, that note is inaccurate and irrelevant to Bankrate.
      1. https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/6/24214374/cnet-zeff-davis-acquisition-digital-media-100-million
4. Bankrate owned networks
