History

Moneyfacts.co.uk was launched in October 2000[4] as an extension of Moneyfacts Group, a financial services company based in the UK which publishes independent financial information. Its primary function was to provide a series of 'best buy charts' that gave comparisons between various 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.
