Write for Us Banking: Banking Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most banking pitches compare accounts in a table that is out of date within weeks. What this blog wants is the working view: what a business banking manager sees founders get wrong, how a small business set up its accounts and payments to save time, how a fintech won trust, and what a reader should prepare before they talk to a bank.

My readers are business owners, founders and freelancers who run their own money. They already read my guides to online business banking accounts, mobile payment services for small businesses and AI chatbots in banking customer service. A banking post has to help them make clearer decisions about the money side of their business.

60-second banking guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you work in banking, finance or fintech yourself
• Can you share a real, anonymised example
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you avoided personal advice and approval guarantees
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one bank or product

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong banking pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best bank accounts to open this month." A strong one says "I manage business banking for small firms and I want to show the six things founders bring to a lending meeting that change the answer, with anonymised examples from my desk." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• What a lending meeting looks like from the bank's side
• Setting up accounts and payments for a new business
• Scams that target small businesses and how to stop them
• Banking for a business with clients abroad
• How digital banks changed what founders expect
• Automating reconciliation and cash flow reports
• Building trust as a new fintech brand
• What working in a bank taught you about customers

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept banking guest posts?

Yes. Banking guest posts are welcome from bankers, finance managers, accountants and fintech founders who can share real experience. We publish general, practical articles and decline product promotion, personal advice and approval guarantees.

What banking topics do you accept?

Business banking, payments and cash flow, lending readiness, digital banks and fintech, fraud and security, international banking, and AI in banking service. The common thread is a practical lesson from real work.

Do you accept finance and fintech guest posts too?

Yes. Wider money pitches suit the finance, personal finance and fintech pages better, but every pitch reaches the same editor.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a banking guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience working in banking, finance or fintech. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
