Star Ratings Guide

What

CANNEX star ratings are a consumer-friendly benchmark that help you compare financial products based on their rates and features. We evaluate literally thousands of products from hundreds of finance institutions. Products offering superior value are awarded five stars.

When

Superior Average Excellent Satisfactory Strong Rising Star

Only the top 5% of products scored using the CANNEX Star Ratings methodology are awarded the prestigious five star status. As a consumer, this is your guarantee of a high-performance product.

The rising star status is given to products which do not meet the criteria for being rated (perhaps they have only been on the market for six months), but show potential to score highly in the near future.

How

When calculating star ratings, CANNEX takes into account historical interest rate performance, fees, features and other details pertinent to each product category. For full details on how we calculate star ratings, refer to the methodology at the end of the star ratings report for the product category you are interested in, eg. credit cards.

Why

We do the research to save you time. CANNEX star ratings help you to efficiently narrow down your product choice to a few option's which might best suit your needs.
