Consumers set to save with comparethemarket.com

For consumers struggling with bills and wanting to make the most from financial services providers, help is at hand thanks to a new service launched by comparethemarket.com, the price comparison site. Consumers can now search the site for excellent deals across a greater number of financial services products including health insurance, current accounts and savings accounts.

In addition to its existing portfolio which includes comparisons for insurance, credit cards and loans, a number of services will now be brought under one roof, giving consumers greater choice, value for money and even more opportunities to keep the credit crunch at bay.

"With the recent economic turmoil, consumers no doubt will be feeling the pinch when it comes to household bills. Its easy to get complacent, particularly with current accounts and savings accounts, but to save money and get the deal that's right, consumers need to constantly be evaluating their current expenditure and suppliers," said Jeremy Moll, commercial director, comparethemarket.com. "Our research shows that more than 90% of consumers will achieve a saving with comparethemarket.com on their car insurance and with our new products, customers can be assured that they will continue to get excellent deals."

Health insurance

Customers will now be able to search 21 products from eight different suppliers on comparethemarket.com to get the right deal at the right price for their health insurance. And customers can be assured they will be receiving services from established names such as BUPA, AXA, Norwich Union PruHealth and Standard Life.

Current accounts

"Consumers give their banks more loyalty than their partners!," said Jeremy. "Its easy to stick with the same bank for years but if you are not getting the service or the interest rates you deserve, why bother? Switching is easy to do and with comparethemarket.com, it's just a click away."

Savings accounts

"There are some great deals to be had on savings accounts at the moment, as banks are desperate to lure in customers," commented Jeremy. "Plus with the Government's recent announcement to protect the first £50,000 of any savings account, consumers can feel safe in the knowledge that their money is secure. If you do have more than £50,000 saved, ensure it is split between different financial institutions."

The new products and services are available with immediate effect through comparethemarket.com
