How we score every bank .

The five parameters above are the only ones that set a provider’s position. Affiliate commission, advertising spend and paid placements are recorded separately and labelled on the page where they appear, for example the featured partner bar and the bank of the month. They never move a provider up or down the ranking, and not every provider we list pays us at all. Any provider can be removed from our index if a regulator action or repeated onboarding failures appear in our case data.

We do list only providers we can support end to end, which is a selection choice we state openly: it means branch-only banks and private banks we cannot apply to directly are covered through our advisors rather than ranked here.rather than ranked here.
