- FSA’s Money Made Clear comparison tables data since 10 September 2010, i:protect was top for Payment Protection Insurance. For a typical buyer age 30-35 seeking £1000 Accident Sickness and Unemployment Insurance to cover their mortgage repayments and other expenses for one year, i:protect take the first 8 places for lowest premium out of the top ten policies. The Money Made Clear comparison tables are now transferred to the Money Advice Service (see below). Supported by the independent Consumer Financial Education Body. The Money Advice Service is a free, independent service set up by the government and funded by a levy on the financial services industry. "Because we're not selling anything ourselves, or for anyone else, you can trust our advice."
- Money Advice Service payment protection insurance comparison tables show i:protect continuing to dominate their comparison tables for offering cover at the lowest price for the majority of buyers of Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance up to 45 years of age. This is a completely independent and unbiased consumer financial advice service. It is the only true comparison website as it does not charge the companies listed to be included. The Money Advice Service is i:protect's shop window in terms of the value for money cover we offer to our on-line customers.
