How we rate brokers
Every broker is scored 0–5 on the same set of criteria, so you can compare like-for-like.
We score regulation & safety, fees & spreads, minimum deposit, account types, deposit/withdrawal options, range of markets, platforms & tools, mobile apps and customer support. We weight safety and costs most heavily because they affect every trade. Rankings are reviewed and updated regularly.
