Meet the Contributors

Based on financial information that aims to make the financial services sector more transparent to the consumer, FSN websites require daily news, features and information guides.


Many of the FSN websites are comprehensive, detailed information portals involving thousands of pages of content. The business model of many of the FSN sites is to provide a positive visitor experience to encourage enquiry form completion, so the importance of high-quality, well-written content is paramount. To achieve this, the FSN network employs a content and research team to create, manage and deliver topical, accurate information.

To supply accurate content, Financial Services Net Limited relies on a structured team of financial services professionals, with decades of cumulative experience in a variety of topics. The content team is composed of specialist journalists who have the ability to consult with financial services experts, both from FSN senior management and the wider industry. Our specialists often come from a financial services background, and many have journalistic training and industry contacts. Our team liaises with market experts, opinion leaders and news agencies to deliver up-to-the-minute news and information.

To meet the content demands of so many different core websites, FSN employs other journalists to write and edit content, all of which goes via a publisher for final verification before going live. The publishing process and varied team means that FSN can respond quickly, review sites regularly and keep our content up to date.
