The lowdown on Finder Score
Let's face it, the average person doesn't spend all day comparing credit cards. But we do. That's why we developed the Finder Score.
It's a quick, easy way you can see how one credit card compares to others on the market.
But a lot of work goes into that number. Every month we:
- Analyse 127 credit cards with balance transfer offers.
- Assess seven features of each card and give each component a rating.
- Combine the ratings via a weighted methodology to decide the Finder Score.
We give different scores for different categories. So one card might get a 9 in the balance transfer category but only a 7 in the rewards category.
The Finder Score methodology is designed by our insights and editorial team. We review products objectively. Commercial partnerships do not affect the scores.
Remember that Finder Score is just one factor to consider. Look at other aspects like fees, features, benefits and risks to make sure a product is suitable for you. Double-check details that matter to you before applying or buying.
