Editorial transparency

The research desk behind every page

Financial content is only as good as the people who write it, so every guide, review and ranking on this site carries a named byline and a last-reviewed date.

Below are the writers and reviewers responsible for the site, what each of them covers and the experience they bring to it.

Every page on this site is written by the research desk, checked against the regulator's public register before publication and dated so you can see how current it is. Where we quote a cost, a spread or a protection limit, it comes from documentation the firm publishes itself rather than from marketing copy. Use the buttons below to jump straight to the comparison tools, the full review library or the method we follow.
