Editorial Policy
The rules we hold ourselves to: where facts must come from, what happens when a broker changes its terms, and why commercial deals never buy a better writeup.
Facts need a source we can link
Anything checkable on a page here should trace back to a primary source: the broker's own legal documents, a regulator register, or an official filing. Where we could not verify something, the page says so instead of papering over the gap. Marketing claims from a broker's homepage are treated as claims, not facts.
When brokers change, pages change
Broker terms move constantly, so pages carry a last-checked date rather than pretending to be permanently accurate. When a reader or a regulator warning flags that something is out of date, fixing that page jumps the queue. Corrections are made in place; we do not quietly delete inconvenient history about a broker we list.
Commercial deals do not buy coverage
Some brokers pay us a referral commission. None of them can pay for a better score, a softer risk section or removal of a warning. The scoring checklist is the same for brokers who pay us and brokers who do not, and the advertising disclosure explains the money side in full.
Common questions
Is this trading advice?
No. We publish broker research, comparisons and risk notes. What you do with your money is your decision, ideally made after your own checks.
Can broker information change?
Constantly. Regulation, availability, platforms, payment methods and fees change by legal entity and over time, which is why every page shows when it was last checked.
Are your scores safety ratings?
No. A score is a side-by-side comparison aid. A high score is not proof a broker is safe, and we'd rather you treat it that way.
