How every provider is assessed, how to ask for an assessment or correct a published fact, and how to show the badge. Inclusion and position cannot be bought.
The same rules apply in every ranking. Each ranking page sets out its own criteria and weights.
Any provider may ask to be assessed. The request is reviewed in the next monthly review of that ranking. It changes nothing about the score: the score comes from your published pages.
For a correction, give the page on your own site that shows the right fact. A correction is made only where your own page supports it.
Before you ask, check that your fees, regulator and the countries you serve are published on your site. A fact that is not public cannot be scored.
A change to your published fees, products, countries served, licences or protections, read from your own pages in a monthly review.
Asking to be assessed, paying, advertising, being a client or partner of Buckingham Capital Consulting, or sending information that is not on your public site.
Buckingham Capital Consulting selects the providers and scores them. Providers do not apply or pay, and there are no sponsored places.
Ranked providers may show the badge of each ranking they appear in.

No. There are no fees, sponsored places or paid profiles. Every score comes from the provider's own published pages, scored on the same criteria as every other provider in that ranking.
No. Being a client, a partner or a prospect of Buckingham Capital Consulting has no effect on whether a provider is assessed or where it ranks.
A provider that asks to be assessed is reviewed in the next monthly review of that ranking. If it meets the ranking's scope, it is scored and published in that review.
A criterion scores 0 when the fact is not offered or not published. A fee that is not published is scored as if it were high, because a business cannot plan on it. Publishing the fact on your own site is the way to be scored on it.
A ranking covers the providers a business is likely to consider, so a provider is not removed on request. Any fact shown wrongly is corrected from the provider's own pages.
Yes. State the ranking's full name and edition year, for example "Ranked in the Buckingham Capital Consulting Card Issuing Index 2026", and link to the ranking page.
Yes. The one condition is that it links to the ranking page, so a reader can check the score and the method. It is withdrawn if the link is removed or the provider leaves the ranking.
