A* Customer Service

I wanted to get a prepaid credit card for my upcoming holiday to Spain and have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of customer service. I was unsure on what sort of card to get but they explained it to me extremely well and advised me on all my possible options. Agree with the below comment re the website layout but that would be a very minor issue but overall very happy with my experience with Compareandsave.

Current account FTW

just grabbed myself a cheeky little current account with a beaut switch incentive. Pretty sick consider I was getting right rubbish interest rates before. Sick deal and handy little bonus of 7 days switch malarkey. Happy days. Site could do with a redesign mind, not as pretty as some others but decent deals!

Surprisingly honest

I want to commend CompareAndSave on their honest approach to personal loans comparison. I have been looking for a while for a loan, and although I thought I'd looked under every stone in my search, it never occurred to me to try my own building society. But when I went to CompareAndSave, there they were at the top of the table, with an offer only available to their customers - which is the best in the market. I know from FSA reports that the some websites make a fortune by recommending products with silly interest rates to unsuspecting customers, so this really feels like a refreshingly honest approach. I will certainly use them again.

Very helpful

I've not had much need to bother with comparing web-sites for money stuff before. In fact the millions of adverts they bombard me with daily just annoy me. But, when switching bank account recently my BF suggested I use compareandsave, as he had and was really pleased. Having gone to site and read through a guide to switching I was still a little confused by the whole process, so I called them. I didn't expect to get an answer as it was outside normal office hours, but the woman who answered (whose name escapes me - sorry!) was 'sooo' helpful. She didn't exactly tell me what product to get, but she went out of way to help me understand the jargon and how the process worked in practice. She even told me about other web-sites I might want to try. I don't know whether she thought I was a mystery shopper, but I was definitely impressed and in the end I managed to get almost £200, just for switching and doing my normal banking.

Great website

Superb range of choice on broadband. Got me a brand new deal and at an amazing price. Super happy with information I received. Compare and save are so transparent with the pro and cons of all the products which is great to see.

great service

I was in the market for a bank loan and was instinctively going to use provider i currently bank with. However, after a thorough investigation I realised that I could get a far better deal elsewhere. I fear too many people are making this same mistake and were it not for compareandsave and their excellent guides and tips, I would have fallen in to the same traps.

deal alert joy

I just saw a so called deal alert on Hotukdeals, highlighting an amazing new Hlaifax card offering 16 months with no transfer fee. But i got that card last Thursday on COMPAREANDSAVE.COM, so credit where it's due for sniffing out bargains!

Quick credit card comparison

Expecting an evening picking through the different banks websites, and weighing up the deals on offer and the various catches and clauses, I happened upon Compareandsave. Need-less-to-say, I was very impressed. They have all the products you need, together with guides and advice to point you to the right one. All-in-all it made a boring situation absolutely painless.

Excellent money transfer guidance

I feel I am well placed to recommend CompareAndSave.com to people, since we recently used this website ourselves and saved over three hundred pounds.

Having recently committed to purchase our second property abroad we were looking for alternative methods to transfer money from the UK to realtors overseas. The first time around we used our current account provider and, although the service was adequate, we felt the speed of transfer and especially the rates of exchange (considering the large sums of money involved) were pretty dismal.

After a couple of searches this time we happened upon CompareAndSave.com and it proved most enlightening. Of course, I can't claim that I hadn't heard of foreign exchange specialists before visiting the website (we had), but we had never had the confidence to entrust such a sum of money to an organisation we had little understanding of.

Reading the independent guidance of CompareAndSave.com gave us the understanding and confidence to use these services. Their unique way of rating the foreign exchange services in their comparison tables (by their business credit score) meant we knew we were not entrusting our hard earned savings to a fly-by-night company. Indeed the transaction was simple and painless (unlike the realtors). I would certain recommend them to anyone seeking advice and guidance on specialist finance service products.

Great help finding the right credit card

I'm not the sort of bloke to review websites in general, but I feel very grateful to the people who run Compare&Save.

I was drawing a complete blank getting access to credit that didn't have a 4 digit interest rate, with rejection after rejection (having missed a few payments a year ago).

I'd signup to one of the credit score tools, but that just cost me even more and offered next to useless advice.

It was my mum that put me on to Compare&Save, because she'd used them for other products and found their guides and factsheets very useful. I don't agree with her on much, but on this occasion she was spot on.

I've read a number of their guides now - including one about the credit bureaus themselves (know thy enemy). Eventually I feet confident enough to make a new application (knowing that it could do even more damage to my credit score) though the tables on the website and I was accepted!

Okay, the rate is not what I'm used to, but I am now back on the right road to reestablishing my credit score and feeling better than I have in a long time!

Searching made easy

Was looking for a pre-paid credit card to take with me on a trip to australia and new zealand, instead of taking cash. Compareandsave lists a number of options available citing the benefits of each, including any costs associated with the card. It took the hassle out of going to each provider's site individually, and the information is displayed in an uncluttered clear manner. I would recommend compareandsave to anyone who is looking to get a financial product, and want to easily compare available products to find which best suits their needs.

4 star review

After having a little difficultly with the website, I called compareandsave today and spoke with a young man called Shak. He was extremely helpful and helped me find the perfect deal on a 0% balance transfer card. I would really recommend compareandsave not only for their products, but also their obvious desire to go above and beyond to aid their customers. Such a pleasant change to have a call with someone regarding credit cards and not feel like they are giving you the hard sell. Website a bit tricky for a technophobe, but wonderful helpful nature.
Perfect business!

helped me bag my first credit card

I've never much used advice websites before as they all seem to focus on selling you the easiest thing for them, but I recently used this website to get a new credit card and it worked a treat. of course I didn't know you can't just phone them for advice, but once they explained that, and I put my goggles on to do some hardcore reading, I quickly got what I was looking for. I still thought it was too good to be true, but I gave it a crack and was surprised to find all their claims were true.well worth the time and effort.

financial crisis avoided

well after several hours searching for the right deal and umm-ing and r-ing about the best way to recover from my little financial blip, i came acroos compareandsave this website really does have it all, a total one-stop-shop. Managed to secure myself with a shiny new credit building credit card and a tidy new little savings account with superb rates!!
I cant stress enough just how helpful all of the guides on offer are, the site is slick and simple to navigate and whats more, i wasnt constantly pestered by pop-ups and prompts to sign up and keep my details. That alone justified a review to state just how refreshing it is to find a financial site that genuinely wants to help!!

Thank you for your much needed guidance! keep up the great work!

Refreshingly Transparent

As I've been looking to get a new credit card I have used a number of 'comparison' websites, from the unheard of to the too-heard of. For me, CompareandSave stood out as the clearest and most transparent. The comparison tables are structured in orders that are spelt out on the page (so you understand what you're looking at) and they offer some very useful 'onsite apps - which give you a sense of you'll save. Also while many sites hide how they make money, CompareandSave are completely upfront.

Great deals & lots of extras!

Got myself a great deal on a new credit card. Had the same provider for years but after all of compareandsave's helpful advice I picked up a fantastic deal with lots of added perks and add ons. Honest, simple to navigate and clear info. Wonderful site!

Trip booked and paid for!

Recently decided with my partner to finally take that once in a lifetime trip. We decided to finance it on my credit card - however after looking on compareandsave and reading their helpful blogs and guides, I found several better deals and excellent savings. I decided to get a different card and get the benefits and rewards that are part of my new deal! Thank you compareandsave.com for your wonderfully helpful guides and your excellent deals!

I will definitely be recommending your site.
