What's It All About
More on MoneySaving

More On MoneySaving

Corporate Britain isn't the enemy, but it is the opposition. A company's job is to make money, nothing wrong with that. A consumer's job is to keep as much of their cash for themselves as possible. The problem is that companies spend billions on marketing, advertising and teaching their staff to sell: yet consumers get no buyers' training.

This site aims to redress the balance, both with highly researched journalistic articles and forums that bring millions together to gradually build collective resources. MoneySaving is about finding best deals, legal loopholes and how to save money on everything and anything; on average following these will gain you the equivalent of a 25% payrise.

MoneySavingExpert.com was created in February 2003 for £100 by Martin Lewis, and still run day-to-day by him. By January 2009 nearly 7 million users a month were reading the site, and the weekly email goes to over 3 million people.

Who is Martin Lewis?

Who is Martin Lewis?

Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis is an award winning TV & radio presenter, newspaper columnist, bestselling author and campaigner.

An ultra-specialised journalist, he spends his life focusing on how to cut bills without cutting back. He runs and owns this website, the UK's biggest money site, which has 10 million users a month and over five million receiving the Martin's Money Tips weekly email. 

He makes regular media appearances on Daybreak, Lorraine, BBC Radio 2's Vine, Watchdog, BBC Radio 5 Live's Logan, and has a column in the The Sunday Post. In the past he's also had his own TV series on ITV1 and Channel 5. 

He's commonly credited as the "big gob in chief" behind the campaign to reclaim bank charges, with over 6 million template letters downloaded and a billion pounds paid back. He has also run massive financial justice campaigns to reclaim council tax, mortgage fees, and PPI amongst others.

His current campaign focus is pushing the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Financial Education for Young People and campaigning to get personal finance education as a compulsory part of the curriculum.

Martin is also founder and chair of the MSE Charity, which so far has distributed over £200,000 of grants to consumer finance education charities and individuals.

How's the site financed?

How's the site financed?

MoneySavingExpert.com is free to use and free of advertising - you can’t pay to have content put on the site.   Articles are written based on specialised editorial research of the best ways to save money.

The income comes from links that generate revenue when clicked. Once articles are finished, where possible 'affiliated links' to the top products are used and have a * by them. Yet if no affiliate link is available a non-paying link is used; i.e. if the top pick doesn't pay, it remains the top pick regardless.

This stance means the top products detailed here often easily surpass those on the other money websites. Yet thankfully the sheer scale of MoneySavingExpert.com means it's very healthily in profit and also donates a good chunk of cash to the MoneySavingExpert.com Charitable Fund.
