New TrustScore 2.0: a new standard for measuring the trustworthiness of financial companies

A new calculation system that integrates real user reviews and license status for more accurate decision-making.

TrustScore 2.0, TrustFinance's new credibility calculation system, will officially launch in January 2026.


In the world of digital finance, deciding which company to open an account with or deposit money into is no longer about "is there enough information?" but rather the question of how reliable is that information? A large number of reviews, high scores, or a good image do not necessarily mean that a company is safe for real users.

This is why TrustFinance has decided to significantly upgrade its credibility assessment system and launch TrustScore 2.0, a new calculation system designed to reflect reality, rather than perception.


From Review System → To Credibility Standard

TrustFinance began as a platform where users could share real experiences about financial companies. However, as the industry grew, reviews alone were no longer sufficient. TrustScore 2.0 was therefore developed to transform "user voices" and "legal data" into a systematic, clear, and verifiable standard for measuring credibility.


What is TrustScore 2.0?

TrustScore 2.0 is a system for calculating the credibility score of financial companies on a scale of 0–100 points, with the score structure comprising two main parts:

  • 60% from verified user reviews
  • 40% from licenses and security measures

The TrustScore does not indicate whether a company is "good or bad," but rather reflects its level of risk and trustworthiness, based on verifiable data.

What's New in TrustScore 2.0?

TrustScore 2.0 is not just a cosmetic change to the score; it's a fundamental restructuring, with key changes including:

  • Reviews prioritize quality over quantity
    Reduces bias from a small number of reviews and mitigates the impact of review manipulation.
  • Licenses and Compliance systematically impact scores
    License status, security, and regulatory history are genuinely evaluated.
  • Scores are more detailed and easier to interpret
    Expanded scale from 5 points to 100 points for clearer visibility of trustworthiness levels.

How TrustScore 2.0 Helps Users Make Decisions

For investors and traders, TrustScore 2.0 helps decisions be based on clearer and more verifiable data, enabling users to:

  • See an overview of a financial company in a single number.
  • Use it as an initial risk filter before making a decision.
  • Understand the origin of the score transparently.

TrustScore is not intended as investment advice, but it helps users avoid unnecessary risks and make decisions with greater confidence.


A New Standard for Financial Companies

For companies, TrustScore 2.0 is a clear, verifiable, and fair tool for communicating trustworthiness, enabling companies to:

  • Display TrustScore and Score Breakdown transparently.
  • Reflect strengths and opportunities for improvement.
  • Turn transparency into a long-term advantage.
