Betty Jones has spent 12 years covering banking regulation, consumer finance, and the economics of trust in financial institutions. She started her career at a regional newspaper covering the Federal Reserve and FDIC regulatory beat before moving into financial media. Betty holds a journalism degree from the University of Texas at Austin and has been a contributing analyst at several fintech publications. She built Bankzia's editorial framework and is the primary author of the Trust Grade methodology explainer series.
At Bankzia, Betty focuses on translating complex regulatory data — FDIC call reports, NCUA quarterly filings, CFPB complaint records — into actionable guidance for everyday depositors and small business owners. She believes that federal transparency data is one of the most underused tools in personal finance, and she's on a mission to change that.
When she's not writing about capital ratios, Betty volunteers with a financial literacy non-profit that teaches high school students how to evaluate financial institutions before opening their first accounts.
