Salary benchmarks
Our take
With increases in everyday costs presenting a significant challenge to households across the UK right now, RVU’s ecosystem of brands has the potential to provide a one-stop shop for consumers to ensure they are better informed and can save money on their bills.
RVU owns and operates Uswitch, Confused.com, Money.co.uk, Mojo Mortgages and Tempcover in the UK, all of which help millions of people make more informed decisions on a range of products and services for their home, such as energy, mortgages, insurance, broadband and mobile phones.
With the 2022 acquisition of Tempcover adding to the portfolio of brands, RVU is doubling down on the breadth of its product offering - expanding into the temporary insurance market. Tempcover is an insure-tech that brings flexible and affordable insurance solutions to motorists - whether hourly cover or month-long policies.
