Effective November 2026.
This page explains how we write, check and update the pages on Fintrev. It covers prop firms, forex and CFD brokers, crypto, and personal finance and investing. If something here does not match what you see on the site, please tell us through the contact form.
Who signs our pages
Every article and review is signed by an editorial team, not an individual. Each team covers one area and has its own page under /authors. The Prop Firm Desk covers prop firm reviews, challenge rules, prices, payouts and discount codes. The Forex & Brokers Desk covers broker reviews, regulation checks, trading guides and the forex glossary. The Crypto Desk covers exchanges, coins, market data pages and crypto guides. The Personal Finance Desk covers banks, cards, savings, loans, taxes and personal finance guides. The Markets & Investing Desk covers investing guides, the financial dictionary, companies, people, economics and market data. The Data Research Team runs our brand checks and supplies the data behind reviews, rankings and scores.
We use team bylines because our pages come from a shared record and a shared process, not from one person’s opinion. A team byline tells you which desk is responsible for a page and where to look for the rest of its work. We do not publish staff names, and we will not invent them.
Where our facts come from
Prices, rules and fees come from each brand’s own official pages. We open those pages in a real browser from a server in Tallinn, Estonia, at desktop and phone screen sizes. We keep the page text and screenshots, and we note the legal entity names and licence numbers the site shows about itself.
For licences, we search the relevant regulator or company register in a browser and keep a screenshot of each step. When a register cannot be searched at the time, or does not return the entity a brand names, we record that outcome rather than guess.
We also read outside signals: Trustpilot scores with the date we read them, the first Wayback Machine capture of a domain, and the domain registration date from the public record.
There are limits. We do not open accounts, deposit money, buy challenges, trade, request withdrawals or contact support. Where a price appears only after login or after configuring an account, we say so and record no price. The full process is on our methodology page.
Data first, judgment second
We start from what we recorded. Scores for prop firms and brokers are computed by code from that data, using fixed weights published in our methodology. Editors do not adjust scores by hand. A missing input counts as neutral, never as zero, and the review says the figure was not found. Rankings follow the score or the criterion named in the list’s title.
Judgment comes after. Editors decide what a reader needs to know, which caveats matter and how to explain a rule clearly. They do not change the numbers.
Independence
No brand can pay for a review, a score or a position in a ranking. The site shows no display advertising. A brand’s commercial interest in a better result has no route into our process, because the score comes from recorded data and code.
How we use AI
We draft text with help from AI language models. They work from our recorded data, not from their own knowledge of a brand. When a model pulls a fact from a captured page, it must give an exact quote, and code accepts the fact only if that quote appears word for word in the captured text.
Automated checks then compare the draft with the record. Every number and link in a “How we checked” section must appear in the record. Any correction to an older sentence must quote the evidence. Text with unsupported claims or banned phrasing is rejected and rewritten. The model is a drafting tool. It does not decide what is true.
Dates and updates
Each article and review shows the team that signs it, the date it was published and the date its text last changed. These dates move only when the text changes. Rebuilding the site does not change them, so a recent date means the words on the page actually changed.
Some data refreshes on its own schedule. Market data pages rebuild about every five minutes from live feeds. Trustpilot scores refresh weekly. Brand checks carry their own date, and that date changes when we run the check again. Prices, rules and licences change, so please confirm terms on the brand’s own site before you act.
Sources and links
Pages that cite outside sources list them under “Sources cited on this page”. Links to brands go to their official sites and carry rel=“nofollow sponsored”. We link to other sites for reference. We do not control them.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. When we correct an older sentence, the change must quote the evidence behind it. You can read how we handle this on our corrections page, and you can report an error through the contact form.
Conflicts of interest
Fintrev currently has no paid partnerships and no affiliate links. We earn nothing when you click through to a brand. If partner links are ever added, we will state it on the Advertising disclosure page and next to the links themselves.
Everything on Fintrev is general information. It is not investment, legal or tax advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy any product. Trading CFDs, futures and crypto involves a significant risk of loss.
