Why this score

Global rating Not active. Last checked 30 Oct 2026.

Reason
Operating status: merged

Pillars marked “Not yet checked” are left out of the score rather than counted as zero; they lower evidence confidence instead. Nothing commercial affects a score, verdict or ranking.

What the verdict means

comdirect is rated "Not active" globally. Verdicts come from a fixed, rule-based method applied identically to every firm.

  • Verified

    Score 75+, research complete, and an active tier 1 or 2 licence held by the entity serving retail clients.

  • Caution

    Active, with enough evidence to score, but short of Verified. Read the reason before you deposit.

  • High risk

    Verified adverse evidence only: a regulator warning, or a licence revoked or suspended in the last 2 years.

  • Insufficient data

    Not enough verified evidence yet to rate. Not a judgement either way.

  • Under review

    Our researchers are re-checking this record. No score is shown until they finish.

  • Not activeThis record

    Inactive, redirected or merged. No score is shown.
