PROVIDER RESEARCHSam Bennett
Provider reviews editor
“The headline price is only the start. I look for the condition, the renewal and the fee that turns a cheap deal into an expensive one.”
Biography
Sam researches the full cost of each provider: government fees, VAT, account eligibility, transaction charges, address renewals, subscriptions and the conditions behind cashback and referral rewards. Every review is built from the provider’s own published terms, pricing pages and help articles, with a dated research record and a clear line between published evidence and third-party customer feedback.
Sam has a background in fintech and business banking, comparing account fees, eligibility rules and onboarding journeys for small companies. That experience is why Sam’s reviews always read the small print on rewards: what qualifies, the deadline and what happens if you cancel.
Sam owns our Tide, ANNA Money and 1st Formations reviews and checks provider facts across every comparison table, calculator and head-to-head page on the site, so a price change is updated everywhere at once.
Sam maintains our price changes log and re-checks headline offers against provider websites before every update.
