About the Creator

Elliot Marlowe is a financial writer and researcher with over a decade of experience helping people navigate personal finance in the UK. Though based in Auckland, New Zealand, Elliot has deep roots in the British financial system and maintains a strong focus on UK-specific card offerings, lender policies, and consumer protections. His passion for financial literacy stems from seeing too many people pay unnecessary fees or miss out on benefits simply because they didn’t understand their options.

Why This Website Exists

UK Credit Card Guide was born from a simple frustration: the lack of transparent, unbiased resources for everyday UK consumers. Banks and comparison sites often prioritise partnerships over people. We created this site to fill that gap — offering honest analysis, real-world examples, and practical tips without hidden agendas or affiliate-driven bias.

Our Values

We believe in:

  • Transparency: We clearly disclose how we’re funded and never hide potential conflicts.
  • Accuracy: All information is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect current offers and regulations.
  • Empowerment: Our goal isn’t to sell you a card — it’s to help you choose the right one for you.
  • Accessibility: We write in plain language so anyone can understand, regardless of financial experience.
