Our story so far

We launched in September 2000 with the vision of making switching home services simple and fair.

Today, more people come to us to find their energy, broadband and mobile than any other site. Over the last 20 years, we’ve saved consumers over £2.7 billion on their bills. And we’re always looking for new ways to help you, which is why we’ve grown into banking, insurance and more.

We put U first

At Uswitch, we put you at the heart of everything we do. So we do more to get you a better deal on your home services. Here's what you can expect from us:

More choice

We think healthy competition is a good thing. That’s why we battle to bring you the best deals, giving you even more control over your bills.

Fairer prices

We speak out against rules that keep your bills high, holding the energy and telecoms regulators to account on your behalf.

Useful services

We help you understand your bills, energy usage and ways to save with our app. Because switching is just the start.

We’re experts in our field

We campaign for change

You might have seen us in the media holding industry and regulators to account. That’s all part of us putting the power back in your hands. Here’s some of the work we’re most proud of:

'Stay put'

When the energy market crashed in 2021, we launched our boldest campaign yet, advising you not to switch until the market stabilised. That’s all changed now – and switching is back. But we’ll never stop giving you the most honest advice.

Cheaper energy deals

When Ofgem decided to retain the Ban on Acquisition-only Tariffs for energy customers recently, keeping your prices higher, naturally we took them to task on it. And we’ll keep fighting your corner until the rules actually benefit you.

End-of-contract notifications

For years, broadband and mobile phone providers were able to raise your prices without warning once your contract ended. Now, after extensive campaigning to Ofcom, that’s all changed. So you’ll never be caught off guard again.

Answering your questions

Here are some things you might be wondering. Have another question? Just get in touch.

How does Uswitch make money?

We receive some commission when you buy a provider's product through our site. This helps keep our site free to use. Sometimes we have partnerships to highlight certain deals, but only if our experts agree that they’re genuinely worth considering. These are labelled on our site.

Why are some providers missing?

We believe in bringing you choice, so we try to include as many providers and products as possible on our site. But we don’t list them all.

This is either because the provider doesn’t meet our high standards, or they’ve chosen not to be featured on sites like ours.

Is my data protected?

Yes. We have a robust security and privacy notice in place, and promise to look after your personal details with the utmost care.

All personal information is held in the strictest confidence, and we use industry-standard technology to encrypt your data.

How we calculate our savings messages

Around the site, we use examples of how much you could save when you compare and switch with us. Learn how we work out savings.
