Methodology

How to read our reviews

  • Evaluation criteria. Each review scores security, fees, features, regulation, user experience and customer support out of 5, plus an overall rating.
  • Ratings are opinions. They are editorial assessments for comparison, not a guarantee of how a provider will perform for you.
  • Regulation and fees. Regulatory status and pricing change. Treat what we publish as a starting point and confirm it with the provider and the relevant regulator.
  • Commercial relationships. Where a review contains an affiliate link, it is labelled as advertising.

Our research standards

Consistent structure

Every platform is assessed against the same criteria so reviews can be compared fairly.

Clearly labelled gaps

If we have not recorded a detail, we say it is not available rather than guess.

Separation from advertising

Editorial assessments are meant to be kept separate from commercial links, and advertising links are labelled.

Visible update dates

Reviews show when they were last updated so you can judge how current they are.

Understand the risks before you act

Financial products and trading services can involve significant risk, including the loss of some or all of the money you put in. Information here may be incomplete or out of date, so verify important details directly with the provider and its regulator before making any decision.

Frequently asked questions

How should I compare financial platforms?

Start with what you need: the markets you want to access, the fees you expect to pay, and the regulator that supervises the provider. Then compare platforms on the same criteria, and confirm the details with the provider before you commit.

Why do fees and product availability vary?

Pricing, products and account types often depend on where you live, the account you open and how much you trade. A feature listed for one country may not be offered in another, so check the provider’s current terms for your situation.

How should I verify regulatory information?

Treat the regulation details in a review as a starting point. Look up the provider on the regulator’s own public register, check that the entity and licence match the one you would be dealing with, and note any restrictions.

How does the review methodology work?

Each review records key facts and gives editorial ratings out of 5 for security, fees, features, regulation, user experience and customer support, alongside an overall rating, pros and cons, and a verdict. Ratings are our opinion and are not a guarantee.

Does this website earn affiliate commissions?

Some reviews may include affiliate links. Where they do, the link is labelled as advertising and marked as sponsored. Commercial links are meant to be kept separate from editorial ratings.
