No big deal

Article Abstract:

It is very worthwhile making a careful selection when buying financial products such as house insurance and personal pensions in the UK. Simply going to a large bank or building society is generally not the wisest move, as these institutions can charge much more than others for their products or offer much lower rates of interest. Smaller companies are generally no less secure than household name institutions, and can often be more customer-friendly.

Do insurance brokers get you the best deal?

Article Abstract:

Although insurance brokers claim they can get cheaper deals for customers than by contacting insurance companies directly, that is not so. Low-risk customers may even get a better deal by going straight to an insurer. Brokers are better for high-risk customers. However, brokers often provide a poor service to clients.
