A stellar year for the Moneyfacts Unsecured Personal Loans Star Ratings 2023

Moneyfacts is pleased to announce the Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings 2023 for Unsecured Personal Loans.

  • There were 16 Five-Star and seven Four-Star Ratings awarded in the unsecured personal loan market for mainstream lenders.
  • For 2023, the number of loans available to new business has fallen by nearly 19%.
  • Over 35 fields of information are assessed per individual product, covering access, flexibility and borrowing limits.

The products awarded Five or Four-Star Ratings offer the most comprehensive range of standout features and competitive charges, which set them apart from the rest of the market.

The instantly recognisable Moneyfacts badge of quality has for over 30 years helped inform consumers comparing unsecured personal loans. About nine out of 10 people agree that a Star Rating from an independent and impartial company could influence their decision in considering taking out a Financial Services product.* (*Source: Moneyfacts Group plc, Financial Services online consumer survey 4/21).

Samantha Owens, Star Ratings and Personal Finance Analytics Manager at Moneyfacts, said:

“With the cost of living crisis many will be looking for additional funds around the Christmas period or looking to consolidate debts at lower rates or to reduce monthly payments.

“The highest Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings for unsecured personal loans ratings are awarded to those products which offer most flexibility, looking at the features available during the term of the loan, beyond the headline rate on offer. The ratings evaluate a range of features available on the loan that could be of benefit to the borrower to manage their finances over the longer term, which can help the consumer when filtering down based on individual needs.”
