Juan Hurtado

Juan has spent more than a decade writing about consumer finance, with bylines across multiple personal finance publications before founding DollarScout. His work has focused on making complex financial decisions — choosing a broker, comparing credit cards, picking the right savings account — accessible to everyday readers.

Before journalism, Juan worked in product at two US fintech startups, giving him an insider's perspective on how financial products are built, priced, and marketed. That experience shapes the rigor of DollarScout's reviews.

Juan holds a degree in economics and is based in the United States. He's passionate about helping readers avoid the hidden fees and marketing gimmicks that plague the financial products industry.
