Honest money advice, with nothing to hide.
ClearYield exists for one reason: the world of investing and crypto is full of hype, jargon, and platforms paying to be ranked first. We do things differently — clear, tested, and genuinely independent.
Why we started
If you've ever tried to figure out which investing app or crypto exchange to use, you'll know the problem. Search "best trading platform UK" and you get a wall of sites ranking whoever pays them the most. The advice is vague, the comparisons are shallow, and half of it doesn't even apply to UK investors.
We built ClearYield to be the resource we wished existed: every platform tested with real money, every ranking based on actual performance, and every guide written in plain English for people in the UK.
How we make money
We're upfront about this. ClearYield earns affiliate commissions when you sign up to a platform through our links — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site free.
But here's what makes us different: commissions never influence our rankings. A platform cannot pay to appear higher in our tables or get a better review. We rank purely on fees, security, ease of use, and how they actually perform when we test them.
What we stand for
Tested with real money
We sign up, fund accounts, and use every platform ourselves before reviewing it.
No paid rankings
Our tables are ordered by merit, never by who pays us the most.
Built for the UK
ISAs, SIPPs, UK crypto tax, FCA regulation — advice that actually applies to you.
Always current
We review every listing quarterly so you're never reading outdated information.
A note on financial advice
ClearYield provides information and reviews — not personalised financial advice. We're not regulated by the FCA to give advice, and nothing on this site should be taken as a recommendation tailored to your personal circumstances. Investing and crypto carry real risk, and you can lose money. Always do your own research, and consider speaking to a regulated financial adviser before making big decisions.
