How we earn money.
In plain English.
Money Arena is free. Here is exactly how we keep it that way.
1. Lender fees on mortgages
Money Arena is a trading name of Mortgage & Finance Arena Ltd, a mortgage broker regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. When our brokers arrange a mortgage, the lender pays us a fee, often called a procuration fee. That is why you pay no broker fee. Your broker tells you how much the lender will pay before you go ahead.
2. Affiliate links
Some links, such as energy and broadband switching, are affiliate links. If you switch or buy through them, the company may pay us a fee. You pay the same price as you would going direct. We label these links "Affiliate link" so you always know.
What we never do
- We never charge you for guides, calculators or downloads.
- We never rank a deal higher because it pays us more.
- We never sell your details to other companies.
Common questions
Do affiliate fees change what you recommend?
No. We write about what we think helps. We never rank a deal higher because it pays us more.
How much does the lender pay your brokers?
It depends on the lender and the loan. Your broker tells you the exact amount before you go ahead.
