Money Savings Advice Editorial Guide and Principles

We at moneysavingsadvice.co.uk are focused on providing valuable information to our readers through detailed up-to-date information and content covering a wide range of financial subjects.

Readers and site visitors may need support with consumer issues or help with their day-to-day or sudden financial concerns. Our aim is to help them navigate the financial world by providing accurate information that helps our readers make an informed decision, without providing financial advice or preferential guidance to any financial firm.

We aim to provide that information in a jargon-free house style to help readers take control of their finances, enabling them to ask the right questions to their financial advisor or whoever is helping them with their finances.

We deliver content that is accurate, impartial and fair at the point of writing. However we are not perfect, and we accept no liability if anything we write about becomes out of date or misinterprets a product’s claims.

Principles for writers

Whenever we create content, the key guiding principles are:

• We act as the voice of the consumer.
• We do not charge visitors to save them money.
• We do not disparage or criticise financial institutions or companies.
• We DO NOT GIVE financial advice, and never position our content as such. 

Tone of voice

We are all in this together, anyone could face a financial crisis or have a question they need answering, and our style should reflect that. 

• We are friendly and helpful to our readers.
• We keep language simple and clear, avoiding industry terms and acronyms, but if we use industry terms and acronyms they must be explained fully.
• We remain empathetic to any problems or issues readers might have.
• Focus on providing solutions over discussing financial problems. 
• Highlight the benefits of an outcome.
