How you can lose money here, and what the ranking scores
  • Regulatory failure (Transak 6/10): no licence where you are, or a forced market exit.
    Scored by Whose money-transmission licence is my money riding — and is that entity my counterparty? · 22%
  • Execution failure (Transak 6/10): you get a worse price, later, or nothing.
    Scored by Is the number on the widget the number that settles? · 26%
  • Information failure (Transak 7/10): the number is wrong or bought, or your data leaks.
    Scored by How much identity do I surrender before the coins land in my wallet, and how long does that take? · 18%
Not assessed by this ranking: Control failure, Liveness failure, Custody failure, Insolvency failure, Exit failure. A high place says nothing about these; the Methodology tab says what each means. Also scored, as cost, quality or a summary of several families: What does a €200 purchase actually cost me — by card and by bank, all-in? (34%).
