The Holistic Approach
At PayRate42 (PR42), we’ve developed a cutting-edge testing and evaluation system called CyberFinance, designed specifically to assess financial service providers in the digital world.
Our comprehensive evaluation framework operates on two critical dimensions: “Risk” and “Compliance.” The rating is shown in a traffic light color code.
Both dimensions are intrinsically linked, as robust compliance significantly mitigates risk. Our integrated approach ensures a holistic evaluation, providing a thorough understanding of each financial service provider’s reliability and integrity.
=> Dimension: Risk Assessment
The Risk Dimension evaluates factors that could pose potential risks from the client’s perspective. This comprehensive assessment includes examining the service provider’s financial stability, operational practices, and overall trustworthiness. We are also assessing the provider’s products.
By focusing on these critical aspects, we aim to ensure that clients are fully informed about the potential risks associated with choosing a particular financial service provider.

=> Dimension: Compliance Assessment
The Compliance Dimension is focused on ensuring that financial service providers meet all relevant compliance requirements. This includes adherence to financial laws, generally accepted regulatory standards, and industry-specific guidelines.
By rigorously evaluating these factors, we aim to confirm that providers operate within legal boundaries and uphold the highest regulatory compliance standards and generally accepted standards, thereby minimizing potential client risks.
