Tomislav Turčin is the fact-checker at BestForexBroker. He is responsible for editorial standards across broker reviews and best-broker guides, and for verifying claims about regulation, fees, protections and account terms against primary sources.
He has been director of CSAD Consulting Ltd. in Zagreb since 2013, where his work covers market analysis, business development and trading in forex and futures markets. That trading background is what he brings to the reviews: he reads a fee schedule the way someone who pays those fees reads it, and checks a spread or overnight-financing claim against what the broker actually publishes rather than what it advertises.
His earlier career was in technology and consulting: an IT engineer and Java developer through the early 2000s, then a senior e-business consultant, followed by two years working independently as a business consultant before founding CSAD. Working with structured data, and the habit of tracing a figure back to its source, comes from that period.
Verification here means going to the primary source rather than to another comparison site: the Capital Markets Authority's public licensee register and public notices, the underlying Kenyan legislation, the broker's own published fee schedule and legal documents, and the register entry for the specific legal entity that actually holds a Kenyan resident's account. Where a figure or a claim cannot be traced to one of those, he pushes back on it and it does not go out.
His role is deliberately separate from authorship. Where Giles Thomas researches and writes and Rory Hughes edits, Tomislav's job is to be the check on that work, which is why his contribution is counted in reviews and guides fact-checked rather than in articles bylined. On a site whose value is being more careful than the broker marketing it compares, that independent verification is the point.
His role connects directly to the site methodology. He reviews the structured broker data, confirms regulatory claims (licence numbers, licence categories, investor protection and legal entities) against the relevant regulator's public register, and checks the freshness and accountability fields, so that what a Kenyan reader sees is accurate, balanced and clear.
“Every regulatory and fee claim on this site should be traceable to a primary source. My job is to make sure it is.”
Every review and guide goes through the same checks before it is published, and each one has a source that has to exist for the claim to survive.
Tomislav does not carry bylines on this site, and a profile that showed him as the author of nothing would misrepresent what he does. The honest measure for a fact-checker is how much of the site he has verified, so that is what is counted here: the reviews and guides listed below have each been checked by him before publication.
Tomislav fact-checks every broker review and best-broker guide. He confirms regulatory status against public registers, checks fee schedules against broker documentation, and makes sure the last-reviewed date and sources are accurate before publication.
