How do we decide which personal loans get the best rating?

The Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings are based on our in-house product experts’ in-depth analysis of all the personal loan products currently on the market. By comparing the consumer benefits afforded by each product, our specialists judge which are worthy of the coveted four-and five-star ratings – signifying products that are truly market leaders in terms of the advantages they offer to customers.

How does a star rating help me find the best personal loan?

Importantly, the Moneyfacts Star Ratings are both independent and impartial – enabling providers and consumers alike to have complete trust in how we determine the very best personal loans available.

By choosing a product with a four- or five-star Moneyfacts rating, you can be assured that this represents a quality personal loan with above-average features and benefits.
