Clear about our boundaries.

Rating status

FactFX policy version 2.1 combines an dated external assessment at 50% with FactFX assessment at 50%, with a maximum of 100. Our assessment is a judgement of documented offering features with individual published reasons. The administrator may save a subjective override with a written rationale.

The external reference is distinct from an overall star review and may cover a brand or group. It is not FactFX’s independent investigation or first-hand testing. Reference dates and any historical status appear on the relevant profile. A missing verified reference number, assessment or rationale leaves the overall result pending.

A composite does not establish current authorisation for a particular company, account eligibility, observed trading costs or successful withdrawals. Provider-published statements and FactFX opinions remain distinct from independently retrieved facts. Outstanding checks retain their actual status. FactFX does not claim hands-on execution, withdrawal, support, usability, accessibility, speed or reliability testing.

A listing or score is not regulatory certification and does not guarantee authorisation for a visitor, safety, suitability or future returns. FactFX does not execute trades or provide personalised financial advice.

Content & records

FactFX writes its educational content and broker summaries. The external reference component remains external information rather than original FactFX testing. Broker logos identify their respective brands; the marks belong to their respective owners and do not imply a partnership or endorsement. Broker facts retain supporting records and dates. Linked websites are controlled by their respective owners; a link does not imply their endorsement of FactFX or a listed profile.

Information handling

This website has no visitor sign-up, comments or review submission. It does not install advertising analytics or tracking scripts. Directory search text appears in the page URL and may remain in browser history and hosting request logs. Fonts are served locally.

Operator access keys are held in memory in the operator screen and sent only to this site’s protected API. They are not stored in browser local storage. Broker submissions are persisted in the site database. Hosting access and infrastructure logs are managed by the hosting platform.

Rating governance

The current displayed maximum is 100 throughout the site. Recorded composites retain their documented 50:50 calculation and existing numerical totals without rescaling; a maximum-label update is not a new evaluation. Values are not invented or adjusted to fit a target range. The scoring methodology explains the active policy.

Within the FactFX 50% component, the common offering rubric allocates 30 of 100 points to platforms, devices and tools; 25 to account and product choices; 25 to pricing and account models; and 20 to support, learning and research. The awarded values sum to our assessment out of 100. It concerns documented features within the stated market, not tested live performance or measured cheapness. A blocked register lookup or unavailable representative average is not itself a deduction from these offering points.

Spreads, commissions, account terms and deposit bonuses remain separately recorded facts. Documented features can inform our assessment, but headline spreads and bonus percentages receive no separate automatic points. Missing facts are not assumed to be zero, and an unknown offer is not described as absent.

Dated reference records, reasons and a correction process support review. Historical records are identified as historical. Our administrator-controlled opinion does not verify unresolved factual claims. Commercial relationships are not a basis for hidden score increases.
