We are experts

Our team consists of seasoned professionals who are highly regarded in their fields and dedicated to upholding the highest standards of journalism and research. Our writers are sought-after sources in the world of personal finance, and have themselves been quoted by major media outlets and consulted for their expertise.

We are unbiased

There is no "pay to play" here. Financial service providers cannot pay us to alter a review, modify an opinion, or inflate a star rating, and our tools do not require private, personal information to be shared. Our editorial decisions are, and always have been, independent and impartial. Our editorial team operates strictly independently of our advertising team in order to maintain objectivity.

We are thorough

We pride ourselves on analyzing products using strict, proprietary testing methods and collecting insightful data to draw comparisons. Our reviews are the result of hundreds of hours of research and testing, and our data is validated by in-house analysts. Some examples of our meticulous processes:

Our writers open real brokerage accounts and thoroughly test each platform and app using real money, a key differentiator in our reviews and ratings.

For the UK.StockBrokers.com review of best online brokers, published in December 2023, more than 900 data points were collected over 10 weeks and used to score brokers. This makes the site home to the largest independent database on the web covering the online broker industry.

The rigorous validation process by our data team yields an error rate of less than .001% each year, providing site visitors with quality data they can trust.

We are respected in the industry

In the highly competitive field of stockbroker reviewing, our reviews and guides are respected as the most comprehensive by industry executives. Many brokerages voluntarily complete an in-depth data profile each year, which we audit for accuracy, and make their executives available for an annual face-to-face interview with our writing and research team. Our star ratings and commentary are proudly displayed by top-ranking brokerages and shared on social media.
