When does voting commence?
Voting opens on
7th June 2021 and closes on
6th September 2021. Between
7th June and 15th August customers can vote for any firm they choose. On 16th August we’ll create a list of finalists in each category (based on the voting to date), and customers will continue to vote for these finalists until voting closes on the
6th September.
How are winners decided?
Our awards are customer driven so the only people that influence who wins are UK customers. In general, the highest-rated firm in each product category that meets the threshold for each category will win one of our product specific awards. All firms are also eligible for our top level awards. Note: The ‘Best Newcomer’ award will only be awarded to firms that launched on or after 1/1/2016.
What is the voting process?
Customers vote by leaving feedback for a product on the Smart Money People website. That's it! From landing on the page, to submitting their vote, it should take two minutes or less.
How much does it cost to enter?
There is no entry cost.
When are the winners announced?
Winners will be announced at our
awards event which will be held in London on the 23rd September.
