Editorial policy

Independence

Exchanges cannot pay for a review, a higher score or a better position. WithdrawFirst currently has no affiliate relationships with any exchange (see How we make money); if that changes, affiliate relationships will never change what we write.

Sources and evidence

Every fee, licence, restriction and incident comes from our data sheet, with its source and the date we checked it. We prefer official exchange and regulator pages. Every page is labelled Researched: WithdrawFirst does not open accounts or run deposit or withdrawal tests, and we never claim first-hand results.

Incidents

Hacks, freezes and suspensions are written from the exchange’s official notices. We do not speculate about losses and we do not state attributions that only appear in press reports as facts.

Review before publication

Every page is written and reviewed by the WithdrawFirst Editorial Team: each figure is checked against the data sheet and its official source, and each page gets a compliance check (disclosure, risk warnings, country availability, incidents) before it is published. See how we review exchanges.

Updates and corrections

Every page shows when its facts were last verified. If we get something wrong, we correct it, update the “Last verified” date and, for material errors, note the correction on the page.

Requests from exchanges

Exchanges may send us corrections with an official source. We check them like any other source. We do not remove accurate information on request.

What we do not publish

No price predictions, no “passive income” or profit promises, no guidance on getting around country restrictions, and no exchange logos or brand assets without permission.
