About Amanda

Amanda Foster oversees all editorial content at FundingPoint, ensuring every article meets our standards for accuracy, clarity, and genuine usefulness to readers. With 18 years in financial media, she's one of the most experienced editors in the personal finance space.

Amanda's career began at The Motley Fool in 2006, where she eventually became managing editor of the personal finance vertical. She then spent six years at Investopedia as senior editor, where she led a team of 20 writers covering everything from retirement planning to cryptocurrency. She joined FundingPoint in 2022 to build an editorial operation focused on practical, no-nonsense financial guidance.

Amanda is a stickler for accuracy. Every claim in every FundingPoint article must be verifiable, every statistic must have a source, and every 'expert tip' must come from actual experts. She reviews every piece of content before publication and personally fact-checks articles on high-stakes topics like debt collection and bankruptcy.
