Common questions

Is Money Arena free?

Yes. Every guide, calculator and download on Money Arena is free to use.

What can Money Arena help with?

Bills, energy, credit and debt, benefits, reclaiming money, wills, insurance and mortgages. Our guides and tools help you sort most things yourself.

Do you give personal advice?

Our guides give general information, not personal advice. The only advice we give is mortgage advice, from qualified brokers who charge no fee.

Who are the mortgage brokers?

Qualified mortgage advisers at Mortgage & Finance Arena Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The lender pays them when your mortgage completes, so you pay no broker fee.

How does Money Arena make money?

From lenders when we arrange a mortgage, and from some affiliate links, such as energy switching. We label these links and they never change what we say.
