Cardscout

Cardscout was founded in 2004, making it one of the oldest credit card portals in Germany. An independent editorial team is particularly important to us , allowing us to focus on our users and their needs when searching for the right credit card. Cardscout operates according to the so-called user-first principle. Our goal is to offer users the credit card that best suits their needs. The fact that cardscout is part of BurdaForward GmbH, a Hubert Burda Media company, helps us achieve this.

At cardscout, editorial credit card ratings are conducted by independent financial experts with many years of experience with credit cards. Credit card data is researched by hand and is not supplied by third parties. We regularly conduct a broad survey with our users to determine the weighting of individual credit card services. The results of this survey are fully incorporated into our rating algorithm. This allows our users to decide for themselves how much weight they place on individual services. We do this for two reasons. Firstly, we believe that users themselves know best what is good or important for them. Secondly, this process has a direct impact on the financing of our portal. Further information on financing can be found at the end of this text.
