Comparitec

What Comparitec does

Comparitec is a UK-based financial technology group operating from Chester, founded in 2020 with a team of 35+ employees. The company builds technology to help consumers make informed decisions about credit cards and loans, and provides infrastructure for businesses to launch their own financial comparison services. Its stated mission is to simplify and bring transparency to financial decision-making through inclusive access to credit products.

The group operates through two wholly-owned subsidiaries. Digitonomy functions as the marketing engine of the group and has driven over 28 million quotes across the group's brands and client services, serving as the primary consumer acquisition channel. Creditec is a marketplace technology platform that enables businesses to launch their own white-label credit card and loan comparison services. Underlying both is technical infrastructure that has processed over 200 million API calls to lenders, indicating substantial lender integration and routing capabilities.

Comparitec monetizes through two streams: marketplace commissions from facilitating financial product comparisons between consumers and lenders, and B2B technology licensing revenue from the Creditec white-label platform. The company serves two primary customer segments — consumers seeking credit cards and loans, and financial services businesses seeking turnkey comparison technology — while lenders and financial institutions act as the supply-side recipients of qualified referrals. The leadership team comprises CEO Tim Moss, Managing Director Paul Wilson, CFO Josh Rugen, and functional directors covering Product, Marketing, Data, Technology, and Legal.
