Is this a measure of capability?
No. Every row is a sourced fact on the public record: what the bank, a regulator, a filing or an independent outlet has put on the record. The page does not rate how well anything works.
When was this checked, and how often does it update?
The data behind the table was last checked on 2026-10-28 (bank profiles). The page recomputes whenever that dataset changes and is republished with the site; it is never edited by hand.
