Finance Martin Lewis

Martin Lewis is a British journalist and consumer finance expert renowned for his accessible and practical advice on saving money, understanding complex financial products, and fighting for consumer rights. He founded MoneySavingExpert.com in 2003 for just £80, growing it into the UK’s largest consumer finance website before selling it to the MoneySuperMarket Group in 2012 for £87 million. However, he remains the website’s editor-in-chief. Lewis is driven by a passion for demystifying the often-intimidating world of finance. He argues that financial education is crucial for empowering individuals and leveling the playing field between consumers and large corporations. His style is engaging and empathetic, breaking down complex topics like mortgages, insurance, credit cards, and energy bills into easily digestible information. He frequently uses analogies and plain English to cut through jargon and help people understand the implications of their financial decisions. His television shows, most notably “The Martin Lewis Money Show,” have become essential viewing for millions. He addresses current financial challenges and offers actionable advice, often involving himself directly in campaigning against unfair practices or advocating for policy changes. He uses his platform to highlight scams and warn consumers about potential pitfalls in the financial marketplace. He’s known for his catchphrases, like “MSE’s tricks” and “Are you claiming everything you’re entitled to?” Beyond providing information, Lewis actively campaigns for consumer rights. He has successfully lobbied for changes in government policy and corporate practices, often focusing on issues that disproportionately affect vulnerable individuals. He played a key role in securing compensation for those mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI) and has been a vocal advocate for fair energy pricing. More recently, he has been at the forefront of advising on the energy crisis in the UK, offering vital guidance to households struggling with rising costs. Lewis’s influence extends beyond traditional media. He is highly active on social media, using platforms like Twitter to engage with his audience, answer questions, and disseminate urgent financial news. He also established the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute, a charity dedicated to researching the link between mental health problems and debt, and developing practical solutions to help people manage their finances. While highly successful, Lewis maintains a strong commitment to impartiality. He donates a significant portion of his earnings to charity and ensures that MoneySavingExpert.com adheres to a strict editorial code, emphasizing consumer benefit over commercial gain. He is widely trusted and respected, consistently ranking high in surveys of public trust in journalists and financial experts. He is regarded as a champion for the ordinary consumer, relentlessly working to ensure they are informed, empowered, and protected in the complex world of personal finance.
