Where the Data Comes From

Each provider's score is built from publicly available information - the provider's own fee/terms pages, official announcements, and, where available, independent incident reports. Facts shown in a review's "at a glance" table are updated as part of each content refresh.

Update Cadence

Reviews are refreshed periodically to catch fee changes, policy updates, and incidents. The exact "Updated" date on each review reflects when it was last checked, not when the provider itself last changed.

Corrections

If a score looks wrong to you, tell us why via our contact page - we'll check it against this methodology and correct it if warranted.
