Written by the company
Boring Money helps normal people make smarter investment decisions - quickly and painlessly. We're an independent business founded in 2015 to cut through financial jargon and make investing accessible to everyone. No PhD required! Millions of Brits have used us as a trusted source for savings, investments, and pensions guidance. With over 24 years in the investment industry, our founder, Holly Mackay, got tired of watching people struggle through pages of gobbledygook. Here's the secret: once you get past the jargon, sensible investing is actually quite easy. What we do: ✔Compare ISAs, pensions, and investment platforms with independent ratings and reviews ✔Run annual Best Buy Awards based on 26,000+ customer ratings and rigorous testing. ✔Provide clear guides and articles explaining finance in normal language. ✔Offer tools like calculators and quizzes to help you make decisions. ✔Share honest customer reviews so you can learn from real experiences. ✔Help you take action - whether that's opening an ISA, choosing funds, or finding an adviser. We offer generic guidance, not personalised financial advice (we're not regulated advisers). If you've ever felt alienated, patronised, or exhausted by finance, you're in the right place!

Thank you Laurence. Pleased that you like the unbiased information - that trust is so important to us so it's good that comes through.
Clear financial information and entertaining with it
The weekly emails are clear, and informative, making what could be dry finance info, into entertaining and useful updates. The webinars are also of value (and free), and the Reviews very helpful and unbiased. Independent, clear financial information given with a sense of humour. Well worth following

Never boring, just plain English explanation of the complex world of personal finance
Great insights for the lay person or someone new to investing, or just trying to get their financial house in order, or wanting tips to maximise tax savvy investments. And all explained in plain English.

Not Boring at all!
Excellent site with useful informative comments and advice in clear language. The calculator and best buys are great. I think it is a really useful resource for investors just starting out or more experienced.

Thanks Chris - pleased you find the calculator helpful. it looks pretty simple but is mind-bendingly complicated under the bonnet. That project gave the team a few grey hairs!

Holly come across as both clever and streetwise. The items are interesting and of a good depth. I think the female Touch is great and she doesn’t take herself too seriously. There’s humour alongside important issues with good balance. Well done
