Matt Lewis

I'm Matt, the founder and primary editor at TopMoneyCompare. I previously held a management position at a notable UK currency brokerage, where I learnt that helping people navigate the complex world of finances is in my DNA.

It was within this position that I gathered a deep understanding of the problems that people face when transferring money abroad. Little to no pricing transparency, lack of helpful information and poor customer service were the main culprits.

This led me to create TopMoneyCompare, a place where you can get comparison prices from across the industry and learn all about international money transfers.

In my spare time you'll either find me on my travels or on the football pitch.
