Methodology

Updated October 2026

Every provider on Swap Wise Guide is scored against the same fixed, weighted criteria - never a case-by-case judgment call. This page shows exactly what we measure, how much each factor counts, and why.

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.

How Often We Update

We revisit reviews on a regular basis to catch changes in fees, policy, or provider status. The "Updated" date on a review always reflects our last check, not necessarily the provider's own last change.
