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!

Help for a novice investor.

I am a complete novice in respect of investing, but over a good period of time reading the "Boring Money" blog, checking the website, and looking at the very comprehensive comparison charts, I have managed to build a profitable portfolio without having to pay a FA. (good job I put the "a" in)
I now understand most of the terminology, and watching the webinar on Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency I even understand the basics of what is going on, not that I would dabble.
Thank you all at Boring Money for keeping it simple, and some of the advice via the website.

Exceptional and without precedent

Exceptional and largely without precedent. Holly and her team seek to demystify finance and investing, allowing the everyday investor to make better decisions without parting with a penny. Altruism at its apogee? Yes, but I sincerely hope the Boring Money team can make it financially viable - I invested in their ability to do so during the latest fundraising campaign and I would encourage others to do the same if they seek further funding. I absolutely love the tone of Holly's blog - you know she is not sitting in a double-height, glass-clad, Canary Wharf office, earning a high 7-figure salary, outsourcing the care of her kids and hubby to the lesser-paid - she lives life, to the full, as most of us do...warts and all. Thanks Holly. People like me need you and there are millions of us!

Thanks Andrew - and double thanks as a reader and as a shareholder. We've had a good year and have some exciting updates to share shortly. So far so good! I did entertain the odd thought of outsourcing the kids during lockdown I have to confess!!!....Looking forward to taking our site to another million + people next year. Holly
