Rate Harbore scores every provider on one fixed rubric, applied the same way every time. This page breaks down each criterion, its weight, and the reasoning behind it.

|---|---|
| Fees & Rates | 25% |
| Transaction Speed | 20% |
| Security & KYC Policy | 25% |
| Reputation & Track Record | 20% |
| Customer Support | 10% |
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.
Corrections
If a score looks wrong to you, tell us why via our contact page - we'll check it against this methodology and correct it if warranted.
