How we assess platforms

Our framework looks at eligibility, account types, product availability, costs, funding, portfolio transfers, reporting, security information and customer-support routes.

Evidence and limitations

A review should state its country, account type, sources and review date. Any hands-on test should say what was actually tested. Reading public documentation is not equivalent to testing deposits, trades or withdrawals.

Comparisons

Cost comparisons require explicit assumptions: transaction size, frequency, currency, account plan and relevant additional charges. We do not claim that a single provider is the best choice for everyone.

Ratings

We do not publish invented ratings, returns or user testimonials. Detailed reviews will be added as the supporting research is completed.
