Public methodology

Make every comparison easy to audit.

Every card fact should be supported by an issuer page, a dated review, or a clearly labeled external source.

01

Issuer sources first

Fees, limits, rewards, eligibility, and promo terms should start with official issuer documentation.

02

Conditions beside claims

A maximum reward rate means little without its caps, staking requirements, and excluded purchases.

03

Country before ranking

A card that is unavailable to a customer cannot be their best card, regardless of its headline score.

04

Commercial separation

Affiliate status and paid visibility must remain separate from editorial rankings and factual data.

Affiliate links and source review

CCB may earn a commission when you sign up through our referral links. Referral cards appear first in the interactive directory; that order is a commercial placement, not an editorial score.

Guide review dates record checks of public issuer documentation. They do not certify a live payment, account approval, deposit or promo-code test. HELLO and WORLD were supplied by the site owner and have not been independently verified at checkout.

Our guide format draws on the question-led approach of SpendNode and the setup topics covered by RedotPay Guide. CCB’s wording and signup offers are our own; product claims use the official sources linked beside them.
