Millions of Brits have used us as a trusted source for savings, investments, and pensions guidance.

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.

No jargon financial empowerment!

Holly, your updates are fantastic. No jargon, no acronyms and it all makes sense. You always wipe away the noise and focus on the "so what?". Thank you so much for the way you approach this and empowering so many people to make smart choices!

Fantastic site for financials

I don’t remember where I found details of this site. However since finding it I have enjoyed my weekly emails on a Friday in addition to special one off‘s.

I really like the light hearted yet informative insight into the normally stuffy world of financial services. The site breaks down into nice simple bite sized pieces the topics of the week.

I have used the site to help decide on an ISA, for which I’m grateful.

I hope this site does well as it deserves to have the widest readership possible.

Good luck Boring Money.

Invest in this newsletter

The weekly newsletter is both informative and entertaining (the puns are nothing short of genius), busting financial jargon and simplifying investments for readers of all levels. I have been subscribed for over a year now and always look forward to reading it when it lands in my inbox each Friday.

Holly's weekly updates and website are superb

I read Holly's weekly updates regularly. Always amusing, she pitches valuable information in a very accessible way. I have used the site's guidance on investment and question answering function to personal advantage. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend other amateurish investors to explore the site frequently and never to miss her weekly updates

Jargon free, useful information.

The Boring Money website is very accesible and cuts through the jargon that the financial industry is so fond of. Holly's weekly email is entertaining and useful, what more can you ask for?

Highly recommend …

Very useful and easy to follow financial gargon. Great for the beginner with some fun added to it. Really good to have a regular email with updates and financial information. I highly recommend for anyone who doesn't understand all the technical mumbo jumbo of the bankers and investment organisations. Thank you.
