ABOUT US
Boring Money was launched in 2015 by our Founder, Holly Mackay, to help ‘normal people’ to make better choices with their savings, investments and pensions.

We added advice tables and an Adviser Directory, which help consumers to pick the right digital adviser or individual traditional adviser for their needs.
Our readers are central to everything we do, providing ratings, reviews and feedback which enable TripAdvisor-type insights to readers who want customer insights as well as our opinions and ratings. Content is King and our audience is engaged.
