What is Defaqto?

Defaqto is an independent financial researcher focused on supporting better financial decision making.

At its heart is the UK's largest retail financial product database which covers over 43,000 products across banking, general insurance, life insurance, pensions and investments.^[1]

"Our aim is to help people make better financial decisions," said Mike Powell, insight analyst at Defaqto. "It's critical for people to match the features and benefits of an insurance policy with the cover they need and not focus on price alone, to avoid any surprises if and when they need to make a claim.

"By using our unbiased feature information and independent star ratings, as well as price information already available on GoCompare, consumers have the information they need to help them with their purchasing decisions."

Defaqto can help you get down to the nitty-gritty of what your insurance will cover you for.
