How Moneyfactscompare works

Moneyfactscompare.co.uk is a business. As a business, it's important for us to make money, so that we can continue to provide use of our site for free.

However, as a business we also take an ethical approach to the service we offer.

We show all the products available to you in our product searches. Those products which have a  direct link to a provider's or trusted broker's site are shown first, usually by order of rate or the relevant factor for the product you are searching for. These are followed by the rest of the market using the same ordering process. 

We do not get paid to include products in our searches. Some companies choose to pay us for any direct links, applications or sales they receive from leads from Moneyfactscompare.co.uk.

For some product types where we don’t offer a full interactive search, we show tables of selected providers which have paid us a fee to be included. These tables are described as ‘Featured’ so you can easily distinguish them from our whole of market searches.

Our Moneyfacts Star Ratings pages include a list of providers' advertisements and we receive a payment when a user clicks through to their website from one of these advertisements. The full list of products that we have rated as four- or five-star products are not paid-for and the ratings are completely independently assessed by Moneyfacts’ product experts.

It's easy to see which products we make money from: wherever you see the “go to provider” button that means we get paid either because you click the button, make an application, or buy the product. Some parts of the site show a "Speak to an adviser" button. From this you can arrange to speak to one of our trusted third parties, and we will get paid by them if you buy a product following their advice.

Products that have no button available can still be applied for online, (as long as the provider allows this): you just can't do this directly from Moneyfactscompare.co.uk.

We also earn money through companies advertising on our site. We get paid depending upon how many times an advert is shown, how long it is shown for, how many times it is clicked on by visitors and sometimes upon an account being opened.
