Who publishes this site and how the figure is taken

Check Before Deposit is an independent editorial desk. It is not a broker, not an exchange, not a licensed adviser, and it holds no client money. The site republishes one measurement, taken from named public sources and shown with the date and the hour it was read.

What this site is and what it measures

Check Before Deposit is an independent editorial desk. It is not a broker, not an exchange, not a licensed adviser, and it holds no client money. The site has one subject: a measurement taken from named public sources and republished with the date and the hour it was read. The figures describe what things cost, not what a reader should do. Nothing on the site is investment advice, a recommendation or an offer.

The measurement is taken from public sources that are named under every table, with a link, so a reader can check the figure at its publisher. The order is the SEC's dates, newest first. A rebrand can make an old warning look unrelated; compare the details, not the name. The site does not add commentary or interpretation to the figures; it only reproduces what the named source states.

How the measurement is taken and why the hour is republished

The desk reads the named public source and records the figure it publishes. The figure is then republished on this site together with the date and the hour it was read. The hour is republished because a figure can change during a day, and a reader comparing this site with the source needs to know which version of the source was read. The desk does not alter the figure, and it does not estimate or interpolate.

A reader who sees a different figure on the source should compare the hour. If the source has updated after the reading, the two figures will differ. The desk cannot promise that the figure on this site matches the source at every moment; it can only show when the reading was taken. This is why the desk republishes the hour and not just the date.

The desk's responsibility and how a correction reaches it

Responsibility for the figures sits with the publication's editorial desk: Check Before Deposit editorial team. The desk reads the named sources, records the figures, and answers corrections. If a figure is wrong, the desk corrects it and dates the correction. Writing to the address on the contact page reaches the desk. Corrections are the reason the address exists.

The desk can act on a correction when a reader points to a specific figure and shows the source. The desk cannot answer questions about what a reader should do, and it cannot see a reader's own bank or broker account. The desk will not rate or recommend any product, and it will not claim that a figure is a full description of any product's costs.

The affiliate relationship and how the site is funded

The site links to one broker, FxPro, through an affiliate link, and is paid a commission if a reader opens an account there. The reader pays nothing to this site and nothing extra at the broker. The affiliate relationship is stated plainly on this page and on the page about terms. The site has no other source of funding.

Readers cannot register, log in, subscribe or comment here, because none of those exist on the site. No cookie of the site's own is set, no analytics run, and nothing is saved in the browser. The host that serves the pages keeps ordinary technical request logs, as every host does; the publisher does not look through them for anyone's personal data. The broker's own site is operated by someone else, under its own terms and its own privacy policy, and following the link leaves this site.
