The editorial priority is a balanced decision across fees, product access, account security, custody controls and withdrawal testing. Readers should document their residency, funding currency, onboarding entity and product-specific restrictions. The primary platform scope is the compared platforms.

This guide records the source date and treats the logged-in account screen as the final authority for fees.
