How We Assess a Trading Provider: The Evidence a Review Must Carry
Before a provider earns a place on this site, its review has to answer a fixed set of verifiable questions. This is the checklist we use to structure every provider record.
A provider review on this site is a record of what can be checked, not an opinion dressed as a rating. The record stays incomplete until the checklist below is sourced and dated.
The fixed questions every provider review answers
- Registered entity. What is the exact legal name and company number behind the brand, and where is it incorporated?
- Regulatory status. Which authority is claimed, what does that regulator's own register return, and does the licensed entity match the trading name?
- Client money. Are deposits held in segregated accounts, and is there an investor-compensation scheme in the jurisdiction?
- Costs. What are the disclosed spreads, commissions, swap and inactivity fees, in the provider's own words?
- Withdrawals. What are the stated terms, and what patterns appear in independent complaints?
Why the checklist matters
A number is easy to publish and hard to defend. We keep the record focused on the evidence, because a review that leads with a claim and buries the sources is marketing. When each answer above is sourced and dated, the record earns its conclusion.
