Frequently asked questions about Boring Money

Today she writes a weekly blog, comments in national media, and is passionate about making finance accessible.

Is Boring Money independent, or does it get paid by the providers it rates?
Boring Money includes paid providers who want to be featured in our comparison tables. However, our reviews and performance data are not influenced by these sponsorships, as they are for marketing purposes only. All opinions expressed in our analysis remain independent.
Why might Boring Money's ratings differ from other review platforms?
Boring Money scores platforms on a weighted mix of cost, features, usability and customer service - using reviews from real ISA and pension investors. Review platforms only capture broad, unweighted sentiment from any customer at any time. That's why the same provider can score differently there than on a site using targeted, weighted criteria.
Is Boring Money regulated to give personal financial advice?
No. Boring Money is not a regulated financial adviser, so it cannot give personalised recommendations. Instead, it provides general information and guidance on ISAs, pensions and investing, and points anyone with complex finances or specific needs toward regulated advice.
