Uswitch welcomes the Government’s ‘Better Deal’ plan
Commenting on new Government plans outlined today to increase competition in consumer markets, Richard Neudegg, Head of Regulation at https://www.uswitch.com/banking/>**Uswitch.com**, says: “Today’s plan from the Treasury and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills is to be welcomed. Improving competition is key to getting more consumers in control of their finances, cutting bills and improving customer service and choice.
“Our customers could save over £1,100 by switching energy, car insurance, home insurance, broadband, mobile phone, credit card and current account. We agree with the Competition and Markets Authority that price comparison websites play a critical role in promoting competition across consumer markets. We welcome moves to make switching supplier even easier – consumers shouldn’t have to jump through endless hoops to get a better deal.
“A key factor in building consumer confidence is making it easier for more people to choose the right deal. So it’s very encouraging to see that better access to industry and customers’ own data is a key part of today’s plan.”
