How the CBL Score works

Every bank gets a CBL Score out of sixteen: eight criteria, each rated yes (2 points), partial (1) or no (0).

The eight criteria

Verification

Verified banks (marked ✓) have every score checked against their own published terms, with a source link and a checked date. The rest are marked as draft until we get to them.

Scores are revised when a bank's documents change. Every revision is dated, sourced and listed under Score history on the bank's profile, for example Sygnum's score history. Factual corrections to any page are logged, with the date and who flagged them, on the corrections page.

P2P tolerance

A separate, community-reported tag (Relaxed, Mixed, Strict, Unknown) describing how a bank treats P2P-related transfers, built from dated user reports across forums and reviews. It never affects the CBL Score.

Health

A relative judgment (Solid, Watch, Caution, Unknown) built from four verifiable inputs: licences, backing, published financials and regulatory history. Not a solvency guarantee.

The score is our published opinion, not advice and not a certification. Referral links never affect any rating. Questions: hi@cryptobanklist.com
