These are the Terms of Use of the website and by using the website, you agree to abide by these Terms.
bitcompare.net (“Bitcompare”) is an information service that provides you with the tools and information you need to compare a wide range of products, providers and services. We do not provide information on all available products, providers or services so please appreciate that there may be other options available to you then the products, providers or services covered by our service. You should consider seeking financial advice and consider your own personal financial circumstances when comparing products.
We are not a product manufacturer nor are we owned by a bank, insurer or product manufacturer. While in some cases we may provide you with general financial product advice we don’t, and won’t, recommend specific providers, products or services. We want to provide you with the information and confidence to make an informed decision but we don’t know enough about you to provide you with personal advice about your specific needs or circumstances.
In order to provide you with quotes, comparisons, factual information or advice we may need to collect some basic information about you such as your age, gender and occupation. By clicking “quote” or “enquiry” buttons you’re authorising us to provide your information to an adviser or business who will call you to provide you with personal advice about your options and available products. By doing this you are also consenting to us retaining your personal information so that we can contact you about other relevant services that we think might interest you (but you can “opt out” of this process at any time by simply withdrawing your consent).
We compare insurance data, basic information such as interest rates and application fees. We do not assess if a particular product is suitable for you. Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle.
By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider’s terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
We endeavour to ensure that the information and other content on our website is accurate and current but we can’t guarantee the accuracy or currency of the information on which we’ve relied. We suggest that you use your own judgment and review the product information before you make any decision about a financial product covered by our site. If you find an error in our data please let us know and we’ll correct our site.

Selection & ordering of products
We believe there is no perfect order or perfect ranking system for the products we list on our site so we’ve provided you with the functionality to self-select, re-order and compare products. Please don’t interpret the order in which products appear on our site as any endorsement or recommendation from us. There is no particular basis or system of awards or ratings for the products on this site. We’re happy to provide you with the tools you need to make better decisions, but we’d like you to make your own decisions and compare and assess products based on your own preferences, circumstances and needs.
The products listed in the tables on our website are selected based on a number of features including but not limited to:
Features: including, but not limited to interest rates, annual fees and penalty fees.
Offers: the availability of offers in relation to particular products.
Access: whether a financial institution is offering a particular product at a particular time.
Important information
Range: Comparisons are not intended to be comprehensive of the market of available products and not all providers in the market will be included in our comparisons.
Ranking: Where products appear on this site they should not be taken as ranking or endorsing any particular product above another in terms of its suitability for your use.
Preferences: The identification of a group of products, as “Top” or “Best” is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data or defined product characteristics. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.
Qualification: Financial products compared do not compare features that may be relevant to you in your choices about which product to utilise. Where we state that we have analysed offers in the market, the process of analysis is restricted to the information subsequently disclosed and may not be suitable for your personal circumstances.
Remuneration: Where our site links to particular products or displays “Enquire now” or “Go to Site” buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment in relation to your clicking of this link. In some cases we may receive remuneration for referring you to an adviser or product issuer. These arrangements vary but if you are referred to an adviser they will tell you what referral arrangements are in place.
Deals and Offers: For offers, coupons, deals and discounts, we work hard to ensure that the product and promotional information on our site is current and correct at the time of publication, but providers may subsequently restrict offers, apply additional terms or only have limited qualities available. All deals and offers are subject to availability. Always check the provider’s website before applying for, or purchasing, anything.
Registration and Responsibilities. To use our secure Services you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age; have not previously been suspended or removed from our site; register; and comply with these Terms and any relevant laws. Registration. In most cases, you can engage with our site anonymously. But, if you want to access some features of our site, you need to be a registered user.
