Moneyfacts.co.uk (stylised as moneyfacts.co.uk) is a personal finance website that helps people make financial decisions by independently comparing all products available from various banks, mortgage providers and insurance companies.[1] Launched in 2000, the company by 2015 had 80 employees and a turnover over £571k .[2] The website is part of the Moneyfacts Group.[3]
History
Moneyfacts.co.uk was launched in October 2000[4] as an extension of 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.[5] 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.[6] Regarding impartiality in product listings, The Independent said of moneyfacts.co.uk "Their impartiality appears to be unquestioned".[5]
Financial News
In May 2005 moneyfacts.co.uk began publishing news articles and providing guides designed to answer common financial questions.[7] Articles are written by Moneyfacts' in-house press team and are frequently cited by major UK news publications,[8][9][10] including The Guardian[11] and The Financial Times.[12]
