About Benilyn Suralta

I'm Benilyn, a former banker who now writes about money and helps readers find accounts and cards that actually fit their lives.

I spent 12 years in banking, working in branch management, foreign exchange operations, and acquired-asset sales. I then moved into content and have spent the past 10 years writing and editing bank reviews, buyer's guides, and credit card comparisons, tracking rates, fees, and fine print across dozens of banks and card issuers. Along the way, I've also written about property management, real estate, bookkeeping, and AI.

When I'm not writing, you'll probably find me at the gym, on my yoga mat, or out on a weekend run with my family.
