Now in their fifth year, the Consumer Credit Awards, by Smart Money People, together with headline sponsor Lantern, have returned to help find the UK’s best credit firms and their partners. Wholly voted for by customers, these awards aim to find the most customer-centric financial companies.

And with over 27,000 customers voting in 2019, the Consumer Credit Awards have become the largest customer-voted awards for the credit industry. Press to date includes the Guardian and The Spectator as well as industry publications such as CCR Magazine, Credit Connect and Motor Trade News.

In these uncertain times, supportive and responsible financial firms are in high demand, be it household names, newcomers or niche providers, which is why we’re particularly proud to kick-off this year’s voting process for the Consumer Credit Awards. Being recognised as a customer champion in 2020 will be a true mark of excellence.

Michael Fotis, Founder of Smart Money People said, “The outbreak of the coronavirus will clearly have significant short, medium and long term financial impacts on millions of consumers. The role of the Consumer Credit Awards, particularly this year is to identify, celebrate and promote the very best of these firms.”
