About the Editorial Team

Our Obligation

This site takes on a single obligation: to describe BDSwiss as accurately as we can for readers in the United Arab Emirates, and to correct ourselves in public when we get something wrong. We are an editorial resource, not a broker. We do not open accounts, accept deposits, place orders or give advice. Nothing published here is a recommendation to trade, and no page on this site should be read as one.

The team behind the site is independent of BDSwiss in ownership, funding and day-to-day operation. We receive no instruction from the broker on what to publish, and no draft is sent to the broker for approval before it goes live. Where the broker's own materials are used, they are treated as claims to be checked rather than facts to be repeated.

We exist because readers in the UAE are often asked to compare brokers on the strength of marketing pages alone. A review that is clear about what it knows, how it knows it, and what it cannot verify is more useful than one that pretends to certainty. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.

Testing and Scoring

The broker is assessed against a fixed set of criteria that we apply in the same way on every review cycle. These cover the account opening process, the documents requested, the fee schedule and how charges appear on statements, the behaviour of the trading interface under ordinary use, the handling of support requests, and the clarity of the broker's own published terms. Each criterion carries a weight agreed in advance, and scores are recorded before the write-up begins so that the text follows the evidence rather than the other way round.

Testing is carried out from the perspective of a reader based in the UAE. We note where the experience differs by residency, by document type or by account tier, and we say so plainly when a feature is unavailable or restricted in this market. A high score on one criterion does not cancel a poor result on another; both are reported.

Scores are not a prediction of outcomes and are not a rating of safety in any regulatory sense. They summarise our observations against our own criteria at a point in time. When a broker changes its terms, fees or platform, the score is reviewed rather than carried forward.

Sources and Verification

Facts are drawn from the broker's own published documents, from the live platform as we encounter it, and from correspondence with the broker's support channels where a point needs clarification. Where a claim cannot be traced to a document, a screen or a written response, it does not go into the review as a fact. Estimates and inferences are labelled as such.

Verification is a two-step process. The editor who gathers the material records the source and the date, and a second editor checks each material statement against that record before publication. Figures such as fees and minimum amounts are re-checked against the source on the day of publication where the schedule permits.

We do not invent licence numbers, registration details, addresses or contact routes, and we do not reproduce such details from memory. If a detail of that kind is reported, it is because it appears in a document we have seen and can point to. Where the broker's status is unclear from its own materials, we say that it is unclear rather than filling the gap.

Revision Cycle

Pages are revisited on a rolling schedule rather than left to stand indefinitely. Reviews are checked at least once every six months, and sooner where we learn of a change to fees, terms, platform access or the documents a UAE resident must provide. A dated note on the page records when it was last reviewed.

Between scheduled reviews, we act on signals: a reader report, a change noticed on the broker's site, or a shift in the account opening flow. A page is marked as under review while that work is done, so a reader can see that the text may not reflect the current position.

The revision cycle is a commitment, not a guarantee of perpetual currency. Broker terms can change without notice, and a page may be out of date between our check and your visit. The date on the page is there to help you judge that gap for yourself.

Limits and Challenges

A review can tell you what a broker publishes, how its platform behaved when we used it, and how its support responded. It cannot tell you what will happen to your money, how a dispute will be resolved, or whether a product suits your circumstances. We do not see the broker's internal controls, its financial position or the outcome of complaints made by other customers. Our testing reflects a limited period of use, not years of it.

If something published here appears wrong, you can challenge it through the contact form on this site. Please include the page, the statement you dispute, and whatever document or screenshot supports your position. We will check the source record, reply to you, and correct the page where the challenge is borne out. Corrections are noted on the page itself rather than made quietly.

We do not offer redress, mediation or advice on individual disputes with the broker, and we cannot act on your behalf. What we can do is keep the record honest, and that is the whole of what this site undertakes to do.
