Our exchange reviews are based on independent research and, where possible, hands-on testing of the platforms we cover. We evaluate exchanges against the following criteria: FCA registration status and UK regulatory compliance; supported cryptocurrencies and trading pairs; fee structures including trading fees, deposit fees, and withdrawal fees; GBP deposit and withdrawal methods; security track record and available protections; ease of use for beginners; customer support quality and response times. We update our reviews when exchange conditions change — including fee changes, new coin listings, or changes to FCA registration status. If you spot something that needs updating, please use our Contact page. Affiliate disclosure: some exchanges we review have affiliate programmes. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details. Our review methodology is applied consistently regardless of affiliate status.
