==History== |
|||
Moneyfacts.co.uk was launched in October 2000<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000501000000*/http://www.moneyfacts.co.uk|title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine|date=2000-05-01|access-date=2017-01-31}}</ref> as an extension of [[Moneyfacts|Moneyfacts Group]], a financial services company known in the UK for publishing independent financial information. Its primary function was to provide a series of 'best buy charts' that gave independent comparative information about products and services being offered by banks.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/money-best-buy-tables-are-not-always-black-and-white-1291308.html|title=Money: Best-buy tables are not always black and white|date=1997-11-01|newspaper=The Independent|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-01-31}}</ref> Moneyfacts.co.uk's business model relies on banks and other providers purchasing a link next to their listing on a chart. Companies are not able to buy their way on to a chart as the charts are unbiased and therefore not affected by the advertising of banks and other providers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://moneyfacts.co.uk/about-us/|title=About Us - Info About Moneyfacts {{!}} moneyfacts.co.uk|last=plc|first=Moneyfacts Group|website=moneyfacts.co.uk|access-date=2017-01-31}}</ref> Regarding impartiality in product listings, [[The Independent|The Independen]]<nowiki/>t said of moneyfacts.co.uk "Their impartiality appears to be unquestioned".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/money-best-buy-tables-are-not-always-black-and-white-1291308.html|title=Money: Best-buy tables are not always black and white|date=1997-11-01|newspaper=The Independent|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-01-31}}</ref> |
