A comparison site that says who pays it.
We build every score from 11 published, weighted inputs, and we publish exactly how we're paid.
Comparison sites mostly compare commission rates.
Plenty of broker tables online are ordered by what the publisher earns per account, then dressed up as a score. The tell: the ranking never moves when a broker's spread does.
We started from the other end: measure what a trader pays, publish the method, and say openly that we earn commission. If a broker that pays us less is cheaper, it ranks higher. Compare shows the cost method.
16 brokers is deliberate. We only list firms whose licence we can verify against a public regulator register. A shorter list, checked properly.
Four commitments, each one testable.
If you can show us a page on this site that breaks one of these, we'll fix it.
Five categories: cost, regulation and protection, platforms and range, trading conditions, and client outcomes. Each has a published weight, and every input is a sourced figure from the broker or its regulator.
How we rank shows every weight and what each category measures.
We're paid when a reader opens an account. The rate differs by broker and has no input into the score. The code that sorts the ranking has no field for it.
If a ranking ever looks like it only makes sense commercially, write to us.
Licence numbers are checked against the regulator's public register, or the broker's own regulation page where that's clearer. We never copy them from a broker's footer, which is often out of date or names the wrong entity.
Each broker's "Licences & protection" section names the entity and regulator we checked.
Factual corrections go to corrections@brokersnest.com — a separate inbox from the commercial team, so a correction request never reaches anyone with a reason to sit on it.
Advertisers see reviews when readers do, and the same corrections inbox handles disputes for advertisers and everyone else alike.
Refusals are the policy.
We do not sell a ranking position, a badge, a star rating or an "editor's choice" label. Advertising buys clearly marked space and nothing else.
We do not let a broker read, approve or amend a review before it's published, or send drafts for comment.
We do not list a broker whose licence we can't verify against a public regulator register, however good the commercial terms are.
We do not run our own retargeting or audience-data business, and we do not share reader data with the brokers we review.
We do not publish trading signals, copy-trading referrals or managed-account introductions. That's a different business, and a worse one.
Corrections go directly to a desk that fixes them.
If a spread, a licence number or a withdrawal time is out of date, tell us. We aim to answer within five working days and correct the page.

Three packages on a public rate card. The only thing for sale is space marked as promoted, and no amount of it moves a ranking.

That's regulated financial advice and we're not licensed to give it. The rankings, the cost tables and the regulator page exist so you can decide.
We have no standing to. Escalate through the broker's own complaints process, then to the regulator named on your account agreement — see Regulators for which one applies.
We never hold, transmit or see client funds, and have no access to any account you open. Only your broker can help with a balance, a withdrawal or a login.
