The British Bank Awards, run by Smart Money People, are back for their ninth year. Voting opens today, Monday 9th January 2023.

The awards, which are 100% voted for by customers who leave a review on Smart Money People, aim to find those financial companies that are most dedicated to putting their customers first. The British Bank Awards are now a go-to resource for customers and organisations looking for the best banking providers and suppliers. In 2022 over 81,000 customers had their say in the awards by leaving a review.

Jacqueline Dewey, CEO of Smart Money People said, “As we start 2023 the cost of living crisis continues and with the industry preparing for the introduction of the new Consumer Duty in July, it’s more important than ever that consumers can trust their banking providers to offer great customer outcomes, through their products and customer service. As the awards are down to the customer reviews we receive, they give a true reflection of how consumers feel about their providers, and it’s exciting to see who will win this year.”
