Why trust Moneyfactscompare.co.uk?

About Moneyfactscompare.co.uk: Our history and mission

Moneyfactscompare.co.uk is one of the UKs longest-established comparison websites which each year helps millions of consumers make more informed financial decisions when it comes to their savings accounts, mortgages, credit cards, current accounts and more.

The website is powered by data and expert analysis from its parent company, Moneyfacts Group plc, which has been in operation since 1988.

Moneyfacts Group plc is a leading provider of UK finance data and often sourced by industry bodies such as the Bank of England and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as well as major media outlets (including the BBC and Financial Times). In 2000, the companys founder, John Woods, decided to make its wealth of information available to the masses and thus Moneyfacts.co.uk was born.

Much has changed since then; consumers and their money have endured the highs and lows of the 2008 global financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and a number of different Governments. In 2023, the website was rebranded as Moneyfactscompare.co.uk to better reflect the importance of shopping around for the best rates and, in 2025, it celebrated a quarter of a century of supporting consumers with their finances.

Nevertheless, its still the same independent and privately-owned website that our visitors know and trust whether theyre looking for a savings account, mortgage deal, credit card or insurance policy.

The continuing mission is as strong today as it was at the very beginning with the desire to make independent and impartial financial information accessible to all sectors of the population, - John Woods, Founder of Moneyfactscompare.co.uk.

Our commitment to independence and accuracy

Moneyfactscompare.co.uk is an independent source of accurate and reliable financial information. Most of our charts are fuelled by data collected directly from banks, building societies and providers that operate in the UK*, and are regularly updated throughout the day to reflect the best rates currently available.

We are proud to cover the whole of the UK market when it comes to mortgages, savings, banking, credit cards and personal loans and no one pays to appear on these charts.

How we collect and rank products

Every day, the data teams at Moneyfacts Group plc receive and process over a thousand changes from a vast number of financial providers (ranging from new product launches to adjustments to rates, terms and conditions). The teams also run regular audits to make sure nothing gets missed. Any changes are then reflected on Moneyfactscompare.co.uk, with many of our charts updated every hour between 9am and 5pm.

Our charts are structured to show products that have a third-party link first by default, however, this can easily be changed to rate or alphabetical order using the sort dropdown box near the top of any table.

While we encourage visitors to the website to use our charts to better inform their decisions, note that Moneyfactscompare.co.uk does not provide financial advice, sell products or act as a broker.

How are Best Buys selected?

Products that earn a spot on the Moneyfacts Best Buy Charts are considered by Moneyfacts Group plc to be the most noteworthy in their category. For savings, this will often be an account offering the highest rate, while mortgages are usually selected based on their overall true cost (rules and exclusions apply). The Moneyfacts Best Buy Charts are constantly updated throughout the day.

How do we allocate Star Ratings?

The team of expert analysts at Moneyfacts Group plc also award Three-, Four- or Five-Star Ratings to standout products. A Moneyfacts Star Rating acts as a badge of quality, and youll often find brands showcase our logos on their marketing materials.

Written for real people, by real people

At Moneyfactscompare.co.uk, our commitment to providing trustworthy financial information means we dont rely on AI-generated content and instead employ a team of in-house (very much human!) writers who put together original and impartial articles, guides and newsletters. While some of our content may appear in AI search results, rest assured that it has been written by a real person with knowledge of financial products and services.

Whats more, all of the content on our website has been thoroughly checked for both accuracy and clarity by the expert analysts and researchers working for Moneyfacts Group plc who share decades of experience in the finance industry.

Unless otherwise stated, all content is copyright of Moneyfacts Group plc and may not be reproduced without permission.

Who uses our data?

Its not just Moneyfactscompare.co.uk that uses data from Moneyfacts Group plc so does almost every UK bank and building society, as well as major industry bodies (including the Bank of England, Financial Conduct Authority, HM Treasury and the Prudential Regulatory Authority).

The data used by Moneyfactscompare.co.uk is also trusted by journalists from national publications (such as the Financial Times, The Sunday Times and Daily Mail) - many of whom are in regular contact with our award-winning press team.

Moneyfacts Group plc has provided Best Buy charts to the UK press and media for over 35 years:

The service provided by Moneyfacts is one of the best in the industry. Quick, detailed response and accurate data. They are invaluable to journalists,
