Hall of Fame

The Canstar Hall of Fame recognises the longest-serving and most-awarded brands featured in our research. Induction into the Hall of Fame is reserved for brands that have achieved sustained success by winning the same major Canstar Award for 10 or more consecutive years.

This level of consistency and commitment to excellence is an impressive feat, especially given the rigorous, comprehensive, and continually evolving nature of Canstar’s ratings and awards.

The Rigour Behind the Recognition

Canstar compares more than 1,000 brand entries across over 30 different finance categories to determine our award winners. Our team of expert statisticians and finance analysts continually review and change the evaluation criteria to match current market trends, best practice, and the regulatory environment.

Of the more than 1,000 brand offerings featured in our awards, only a select few are inducted into the Hall of Fame. These 12 inaugural inductees represent around 1% – a testament to each inductee’s sustained, long-term success.
