Every provider in Pro Kit sits in one category, and each category has its own tab on the Financial options page. The number on each tab is how many providers are in it.
Current Accounts
Accounts for everyday banking: getting paid, paying bills and spending with a card. Many are e-money accounts from electronic money institutions (EMIs) registered with the FCA.
Savings
Places to save, such as credit unions, building societies and savings apps.
Phone Contracts
Mobile networks and providers, for SIM-only, pay monthly and pay as you go.
Car Finance
Finance providers and brokers, and car subscription services where you pay monthly to use a car.
Insurance
Insurers and insurance brokers, for cover such as car, home and travel insurance.
Transfers
Money transfer and payment services for sending money at home or abroad. Many are payment institutions registered with the FCA.
Provider type badges
Each card has a small badge saying what kind of firm the provider is:
- EMI: an electronic money institution, authorised or registered by the FCA to issue e-money accounts
- EMI Agent: a firm that provides accounts on behalf of an EMI
- Payment: a payment institution, such as a money transfer service
- Credit Union and Building Society: member-owned savings and lending organisations
- Broker: a firm that finds products from other providers
- Insurer: an insurance company
- Network and Mobile: mobile phone networks and providers
- Subscription: a car subscription service
- Provider: any other kind of firm
The badge's colour matches the provider's CIFAS stance.
A category's tab only appears when it has providers in it. If a tab is missing, there are no listings in that category at the moment.
