PPI - what's the deal?
Payment protection insurance (PPI) has come under scrutiny from the Financial Services Authority - so what's wrong with it?
Many credit card providers will bend over backwards to get you to carry one of their cards – offering you ‘exclusive deals’ or ‘phenomenally low rates’. Though some providers are merely trying to advertise a well-designed product that could prove beneficial to consumers, others are ultimately just trying to get you to sign your cash away on the dotted line.

You’ll find reviews, guides, news and comparison charts all featuring up to date information to help you make the right choice.
