About This Editorial Team

Who we are, how we work, and how you can hold what we publish to account.

Why This Site Exists

You are probably comparing brokers before you open an account, and you want a plain account of what a particular provider offers readers in the United Arab Emirates. That is the situation this site is built for. We publish editorial reviews of Swissquote for readers in this market, written for people who want the facts laid out clearly before they make a decision about their own money.

This site is an independent editorial resource. We are not the broker. We are not affiliated with the broker. We do not provide financial services, we do not open accounts, we do not accept deposits, and we do not give advice on what you should do with your money. What we publish is journalism about a service, not a recommendation to use it. The choice, and the responsibility that comes with it, stays with you.

Read the site with that boundary in mind. If you want to know what a broker does, how it is set up, and where its weak points sit, this is the place for that. If you want someone to tell you whether to trade, this is not that place, and we will never pretend otherwise.

Where The Facts Come From

Every factual claim on this site has a source behind it, and the source is one we can point to. That means the broker's own published terms, fee schedules, product documentation and legal disclosures, together with the regulatory registers and public records that a provider's claims can be checked against. Where a feature or a cost can be observed directly, we observe it rather than repeat a marketing description of it.

Checking happens before publication and again when something changes. Fees move, terms are rewritten, and a review that was accurate last year can quietly become wrong. We re-read the underlying documents at intervals, we note the date on which material was last verified, and we correct the page when the facts no longer match. We do not fill gaps with assumption: where something cannot be confirmed from a reliable source, we say so in the text rather than smooth it over.

How The Broker Is Tested And Scored

Testing follows a fixed framework so that one review can be compared with another on the same terms. We look at the categories that matter to a reader deciding where to hold an account: the cost structure and how transparently it is presented, the range of products and the markets reachable, the trading platforms and the tools built into them, customer support and how responsive it is, the account opening and verification process, and the clarity of the legal and regulatory disclosures.

Each category is scored against defined criteria, and the weighting is stated on the review itself so you can see what drove the result. Scores reflect what we could verify, not what we were told. A weak result in one category is not offset by strength in another without explanation, and no score is for sale. We do not accept payment for a rating, a placement, or a favourable conclusion, and no commercial relationship changes what a review says.

What We Will Not Do

We will not present ourselves as the broker, as its agent, or as a regulated or licensed entity, because we are none of those things. We will not accept deposits, hold client money, open accounts, or execute any transaction. We will not give personal recommendations, portfolio guidance, or any statement that promises or implies a profit. We will not name other providers in our pages, and we will not publish a claim we cannot source.

If something we publish is wrong, or you think it is, challenge it. Use the contact form on this site, quote the passage and the page, and tell us what you believe is inaccurate and why. We read those messages, we check the point against the underlying documents, and where we got it wrong we correct the page and say that we did. Where we stand by the finding, we will explain the basis for it. That route is open to every reader, and it is the reason the corrections on this site mean something.
