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!

Brilliant advice written in a hilarious entertaining way. Informative, balance and accurate without any noticeable bias. Thank you so much for brightening up an area of life which is usually full of confusing acronyms and confusing data ( i can say that as i’m a data analyst!)
Brilliant informative and enjoyable…
Brilliant informative and enjoyable read with no nonsense advice. What refreshing change to the gobbledegook thats often peddled in finance pages.
Well written weekly newsletter.
Holly writes an easy to understand newsletter which makes complex financial instruments easy to grasp and puts into laymans terms those things we read about but do not often understand. It is witty and informative and provides some really useful pointers.

Simplifies lots of jargon
Simplifies lots of jargon, into an easy understandable format. Provides the necessary information to make an informed decision without recommending one investment over another.
Very transparent so where it is sponsored by a particular firm for an article as such it declares it. Holly's weekly newsletters are a refreshing read !

Provides good information in a clear way
Provides good information in clear everyday language. It doesn’t try to tell you to invest in x or y, and certainly will steer you away from big risks. It lets you know what you need to know to make informed decisions.

Her sea swims are a highlight for me.
The most honest & entertaining blog I read.
Holly comes across as so knowledgable & normal.
Her no nonsense approach to stocks & shares is
something lacking from the other blogs.
At the end of the week it is nice to receive an email
that’s informative & to the point.
Her sea swims are a highlight for me, she is so brave.
Thoughtful Financial Views..
Holly is always entertaining and useful with the information provided concerning the financial markets. In my view she always takes a pragmatic view to the outlook which is very reassuring!
This is a really useful website
This is a really useful website - lot of factual information and trackers that explain investments and pension well. In particular, the information on the most popular funds and comparison of platform costs is very helpful. The only aspect I don't like is the blog and some of the articles are overly wordy. The same information could be much more succinct.
