Lance Davis

Lance Davis is the senior editorial director for Bankrate, overseeing content for mortgages, deposits, investing, loans and insurance. Lance leads a team of more than 20 editors and reporters who are passionate about creating content that helps readers make smarter financial decisions.

Lance started at Bankrate as a copy editor in 2013, where he learned the finer points of personal finance while reading almost every article before it was published. In this role, Lance saw how small moves today can have a big impact on your financial future. He developed a passion for sharing these lessons to help others budget their money, buy a house, save for retirement and more. Lance also gets involved with fun projects like hosting Bankrate’s webinars with Greg McBride and publishing the annual Best Banks list, which has been cited by MSN, Fox Business, The Points Guy, among others.

When he’s not reading Bankrate articles or playing around on the retirement calculator, Lance enjoys following sports, going on runs and reading books. He dreams of being able to retire early and buy a home on a beach where the temperature rarely falls south of 60.

Lance earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from Auburn University in 2013.
