Our Methodology

1Direct Research from Primary Sources

Every sperm bank in our directory is researched individually. We visit each bank's official website and collect information directly from the source — no aggregators, no third-party databases. This includes donor requirements, compensation, business hours, application links, and contact details.

2Standardized Format for Easy Comparison

Each bank presents its information differently — some bury requirements in PDFs, others spread them across multiple pages. We read through all of it and summarize each field into a consistent, structured format. This means you can compare compensation, age requirements, donor types, and policies across banks without having to visit a dozen different websites.

3What We Cover

• •Donor types accepted (anonymous, ID-release, open-ID, directed)
• •Compensation per donation
• •Minimum and maximum donor age
• •Physical and lifestyle requirements
• •Business hours and location
• •How to apply and what to bring
• •MSM (men who have sex with men) eligibility policy
• •Citizenship and residency requirements

4Limitations and Accuracy

Sperm bank policies and compensation rates change over time. While we do our best to keep listings up to date, some information may not reflect the most recent changes. We always recommend verifying details directly with the bank before applying. If you notice something that looks outdated, please use the contact form to let us know.
