How We Rate
how we rate

At AlertoPedia, we rate companies based on several key factors including regulatory status, website status, geographical licensing, and historical data concerning any warnings or sanctions from financial authorities, reflecting the company's trustworthiness. 

Regulatory Influence

The licensing status of a company plays a significant role in our review process. Companies regulated by reputable authorities typically receive a more favorable rating, reflecting their adherence to stringent financial standards and consumer protection laws. 

Ongoing Monitoring

Ratings are initially established based on the most current data available and are subject to change based on new information or regulatory actions. We continuously monitor regulatory actions and company behavior to ensure our ratings remain current and accurate.
