A stellar year for the Moneyfacts Unsecured Personal Loans Star Ratings 2025

Moneyfacts is pleased to announce the Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings 2025 for Unsecured Personal Loans.

  • There were 14 Five-Star, seven Four-Star Ratings and eight Three-Star Ratings awarded in the unsecured personal loan market for mainstream lenders.
  • For 2025, the number of loans available to new business has fallen, dropping from 39 to 32.
  • Over 35 fields of information are assessed per individual product, covering access, flexibility and borrowing limits.

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

Moneyfacts has been analysing data for 35 years, with the instantly recognisable Moneyfacts badge of quality helping inform consumers when comparing unsecured personal loans.

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, Star Ratings survey 11/2022-01/2023).

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

“For those looking for a personal loan the number of providers offering borrowing has reduced, limiting the choice. However, loans continue to be much cheaper than other short-term borrowing and money can be saved by consolidating debts from higher rate methods of credit.

“Despite the reduction in numbers there is still a broad choice when it comes to flexibility and features. The Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings continue to highlight those unsecured personal loans, assessing the long-term features available behind the headline rates allowing the consumer to filter down on their individual needs.”
