About This is Money and how it can make your life richer - and make sense of the financial news you need to know

Welcome to This is Money, the award-winning financial website and money section of the MailOnline.

I am Simon Lambert, the editor of This is Money, and want to tell you about what we do, who we are and importantly how we can help you.

Our team of expert financial journalists are here to fight your corner and bring you the best personal finance, consumer and business news, tips and tools.

Our aim is to explain the financial news you need to know about in an engaging, entertaining and easy to understand way. 

We also have popular Cars & motoring and Property sections for both This is Money and MailOnline.

All of our journalists are immensely proud of This is Money's success over the years and take great pride in helping our readers.

This is Money is the home of top quality financial and consumer journalism from the website's own team of writers.

We also publish online stories from the highly-regarded journalists of Money Mail, Financial Mail on Sunday and the Daily Mail City team.

It is the best place to find out essential news on personal finance, consumer issues and small business, as well as read the latest on business, markets and economics.

We believe that it is vital to report what is happening, but also to explain what it means for you.

We want to make money entertaining, engaging - and as much fun as it can be.

Our mission is to empower readers to make the best decisions - helping them save money and make money.

We hold companies and organisations to account and fight our readers’ corners by solving their problems and campaigning for a fairer deal for all.

This is Money has been running as a trusted financial website since 1999 and is owned by dmg media, the parent group of the Daily Mail.

We have seen our readers through the dotcom bust, the 2000s boom, the credit crunch and financial crisis, the low interest rate era, the turbulence of Brexit and now the coronavirus pandemic that has rocked the way we live.

The aim along the way is to help readers make informed choices and lead a richer life.

In 2011 This is Money also became the Money channel of our sister publication MailOnline and you can now access the site via both thisismoney.co.uk and dailymail.co.uk.

We have repeatedly been named financial website of the year at both of the industry's leading events - the Headline Money and Santander Media awards.  

We have a proud commitment to quality original journalism and are independent of influence from banks, financial services firms and other businesses.

This is Money is free to use and we make money to pay our team of experts from advertising, money-saving tools delivered with our carefully picked and trusted partners, and links to specific financial products.

Using our services to save money and our links to find the best products helps This is Money to continue as a successful business, keeps the site free to use and enables us to employ journalists to fight your corner.

We will always tell you about the best financial products and try to alert you to the worst ones, and not be swayed by any commercial imperatives.

Editorial integrity is always of absolute importance and none of the relationships above affect the independence of the editorial team.
