About this page

IQWealth is independent: it has no tie to any bank and is paid by none. Bank names and logos belong to their owners and appear only to identify them.

Every figure on this page comes from the bank's own source or its exchange filings, with the date it was checked. What the bank does not publish is stated as such rather than left blank.

Rates are as the bank publishes them and were not confirmed with it directly; a figure the bank published more than a year ago stays on the page with its date and is never shown as a current offer.

The rating is editorial, from published sources — the bank's site, the app store and what users write — and neither measures the bank's safety nor is endorsed by it.
