Making a Best Buy

In the complicated world of finance, we understand how daunting it can be to choose the right product for your needs, but our Best Buy charts give a unique snapshot of the best products available in the market.

With over 30 researchers regularly scouring the whole of the personal finance market on a daily basis, they are in the best position to decide what the top products are, and compile the top six on a rolling basis.

• Our best buys are based on what's best for the consumer - we receive no payment for inclusion in our Best Buy charts
• Each product chosen is sourced from the whole of the market, so you can be sure that we've not been selective in our choices
• We always filter out all the nasties, so you don't have to
• Every Best Buy product we choose is always available to everyone and not restricted to either local residents or intermediaries

Moneyfacts.co.uk

In a world where independent financial advice comes at a premium, we really are a consumer champion. Moneyfacts.co.uk was launched in 2000 and is the UK's leading independent financial comparison website - a free to use one-stop finance shop tried and tested by over half a million users each and every month, who use us to find, research and buy personal finance products online.

Unlike other comparison websites who get paid to include products in their Best Buys, "Editor's Choices" or "Most Popular Products" - we don't. That's why you can be sure that a Moneyfacts Best Buy really is the best product in that market for you, the consumer.

With Moneyfacts.co.uk you can:

• Sort, Filter and shortlist search results according to the field of information you choose
• Find out what products have topped the daily Best Buy tables
• Read our factual and unbiased guides, articles and newsletters to help you make sense and get to grips with money.
• Keep up to date with the latest rate changes and new product launches via our email newsletters
• Apply there and then - once you've found the product for you

Although we are entirely independent and impartial and do not charge banks and building societies to be included within our Best Buy charts, we are a business. As such, our revenue comes from:

• Banner advertising

Banks and building societies pay us to display their adverts on our site. This has no bearing whatsoever on selection for Best Buys.

• Apply clicks

Companies also pay us for a click through from our best buy tables. This is typically on a pay-per-click or pay-per-application basis and our aim is to deep link to the provider's site, helping make it easier to apply for the product online there and then.

You can be 100% sure that how we get paid never influences our best buys or product recommendations. These are, and will always remain, based solely on what's best for you, the consumer.
