Moneynet Awards 2021

Here are the results of the 11th annual Moneynet Personal Finance Awards (2021) recognising the best providers and products from the last twelve months.

The Covid crisis has made it an extremely challenging year for providers and customer alike, but the competition between banks, building societies, insurers, fintechs and credit card companies remained intense right through what was a turbulent 2020.

Several providers have once again outperformed their peers and delivered excellent choice, value, and innovative solutions for their customers.

There have been many noteworthy best buy accounts and no shortage of new product developments, helping people get the most from their finances, and Moneynet is proud to recognise the top providers and innovators for their achievements.
