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!

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?

Written in a lighthearted, draw you in way, but sharp and to the point.
Informative without dragging info out, which it should be for an email!

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.

Boringmoney provides down to earth help…
Update: See below for my main view. However, the website is not easy to navigate (there is no search in this site button for example) and I just spent an hour trying to read an article that interested me but could not get beyond first 2 points despite having spent half an hour trying ! I also dont like how the login takes you straight to visible, not main standard page.
Boringmoney provides down to earth help for small investors - interesting articles and case studies helped me when first venturing into the big scary world of investment !

Needs more depth
I asked a question about avoiding inheritance tax and was given a list of annual sums I can give away, but nothing about giving away large sums, pension money, property or using trusts etc.

Always a good read
Holly’s blogs are always informative, and easy to follow even if you are not a financial whiz kid! If she uses jargon there is always a link to explain so you can read up more in-depth about something.

Superb professional and awesome website…
Superb professional and awesome website for learnings.
At last we are losing the pale, male and stale face of Finance.
Women need a voice in finance and Holly and her
amazing female guests are fulfilling this need at last.

Hi Wes - thanks for the feedback. It seems we have been over-enthusiastic! Let me check in with the team. I think I would find this annoying too. Thanks very much for pointing it out. And I hope once you have tried us, your opinion mellows....! Holly
Extremely good use of my time
I thought that the webinar including Holly, Catherine Flood from Scottish Mortgage, and Dennis Hall from Yellowtail Financial Planning was exceptionally good. The excellent presentations were based on thoroughly sound principles and the ensuing discussions and answers to questions were interesting and relevant. Thank you.

Thanks Michael. Phew. Always a relief to hear we're not boring! Glad you enjoy the site.
Boring but interesting
Really interesting forum which debunks the myths and complexities of using money to make money. It’s done in a lighthearted way but with a serious message. Even if your not into stock markets, bonds and unit trusts(?) the blogs explain why it’s important to make money work for you and not to pay a smooth talking fund manager/financial adviser a fortune for doing so
