Our position is one line: ratings are not for sale, rankings are not for sale, negative reviews are never deleted for pay.

None of the above has any bearing on any broker's score, ranking or traffic-light result. Paying does not raise a score; stopping does not lower one.
What we firmly do not do
- No pay-for-rank. Brokers cannot raise their score, ranking or traffic-light tier by paying.
- No paid review removal. Brokers cannot pay to delete, hide or suppress approved user reviews or complaints.
- No hidden paid placements. Every commercial slot is clearly labelled and never mixed with neutral ratings.
- No paid-for praise. We never buy or incentivise positive reviews.
These are exactly what separate us from traditional "pay to get listed" rating sites.
How we wall off conflicts of interest
To keep commercial interests from contaminating neutral ratings, we maintain a brand firewall:
- Algorithm separated from commerce. The scoring algorithm is open and auditable; anyone can reproduce how a score was derived, and the commercial team cannot alter any individual broker's score.
- One-way, source-traceable data. Ratings use only public, verifiable sources (regulator sites, official notices), and every adjustment carries a source link and timestamp.
- Monetisation physically separated from ratings. Any traffic/promotion business lives on a separate brand and pages, with conflicts disclosed prominently, and never mixed into neutral rating pages.
- Changes are logged. Every score change enters the history record (Time Machine) and can be traced.
