Our Review Methodology

Editorial Independence

Maryna's reviews and analysis are produced independently. Broker ratings are based on verifiable regulatory data, fee structures, and platform testing — never influenced by commercial relationships.

Maryna Kobylianska is a forex and financial content specialist with over six years of progressive experience in financial services writing, regulatory communication, and broker analysis. She currently works as a freelance Senior Content Strategist, partnering with financial media platforms and broker review portals to produce editorial that meets the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and reader trust.

Her career began in financial and legal services, where she spent nearly two years immersed in regulatory documentation, compliance communication, and financial law content for institutional clients. That early experience gave her something most financial writers lack — a genuine working understanding of how regulators like the FCA, CySEC, and ASIC actually operate, and what regulated financial entities are legally obligated to disclose to retail clients.

She then spent close to four years in the fintech sector, writing content for forex brokers, trading platform providers, and financial technology clients across European and MENA markets. During that period she became deeply familiar with the mechanics of forex and CFD trading — spreads, leverage, margin, order execution, platform infrastructure — while sharpening her ability to make complex financial products understandable for retail audiences at every experience level.

Since early 2024, Maryna has worked independently as a subject matter expert for financial review websites, bringing together her regulatory knowledge, fintech expertise, and content strategy skills into one focused practice.

What She Covers at WiBestBroker

  • Forex and CFD broker reviews and comparisons
  • Broker regulation checks and regulatory framework explainers

  • Spread, fee, and account type benchmarking
  • Cryptocurrency and multi-asset trading content
  • Beginner trading guides and financial education articles

How She Reviews Brokers

Every broker reviewed by Maryna is independently researched. Regulatory status is verified directly against official FCA, CySEC, and ASIC registers. Fee and spread data is benchmarked against category peers, and platform assessments reflect hands-on evaluation of the actual trading experience — not marketing materials supplied by the broker.

Her reviews are written to comply with Google's E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) guidelines for YMYL financial content, with a focus on giving readers the factual, balanced information they need to make their own informed decisions.

Editorial Independence

All content written by Maryna for WiBestBroker is produced independently. Her analysis, ratings, and editorial conclusions are not influenced by commercial or affiliate relationships. Regulatory information is verified at time of publication and reviewed periodically for accuracy.
