About Us
Rateweb is a South African money platform — guides, comparisons, calculators and live market data, organised around what you're actually trying to do with your money: improve your finances, manage day-to-day spending, borrow well, grow wealth, protect what you have, and learn as you go.
We started out covering business, tech and market news. Today Rateweb is built for a different job: helping South Africans make specific financial decisions — which bank account, which loan, which insurance, how much tax you'll actually pay — with real numbers, not guesswork.
What you'll find here
- Comparisons across banking, credit cards, loans, insurance and investments — compare/.
- Free calculators for tax, bonds, retirement, debt payoff and more — calculators/.
- Live market data on the JSE and major cryptocurrencies — markets/jse/ and crypto/.
- A free Financial Health Score and Money OS dashboard that tracks your own numbers and suggests your next move — financial-health.
- Sector and regional benchmarks — salaries by sector and property prices by area, drawn from official data and reader-submitted figures — salaries and property-prices.
- Hundreds of guides on tax, banking, credit, insurance and career topics, written and fact-checked for a South African audience.
How we work
Rateweb earns money mainly through affiliate partnerships and advertising, disclosed in full on our How we make money page. That funding never decides what we publish or how we rate a product — our ratings methodology and editorial guidelines set out exactly how we score and fact-check what you read here.
Nothing on Rateweb is personal financial, tax or legal advice. We aim to give you clear, accurate information so you can make your own informed decision — and where the details matter (your income, your risk profile, your specific situation), we say so and point you to a qualified adviser.
Who's behind Rateweb
Rateweb is written and maintained by a small South African team of writers and researchers who cover banking, insurance, credit, investing and career topics day to day. You can see everyone's byline and read more about their focus areas on our authors page.
