Where It All Began
Money Helpdesk began life as the mortgage comparison service, Teito, in early 2021 before we rebranded and expanded our offering into other areas of financial services, such as pensions, investments and estate planning.
The business was launched by the people behind Echo Finance, an acclaimed, whole-of-market mortgage brokerage trusted by over 250,000 people since 2012, and is now a thriving network of mortgage brokers and financial advisers.
We founded Money Helpdesk with the aim of taking the stress out of the mortgage journey, allowing customers to quickly connect with a broker online and acccess whole-of-market rates comparison and expert advice at the click of a button.
Since relaunching as Money Helpdesk in 2025, we have applied this same formula to other areas of finance including pensions, investments and commercial finance to offer our customers a complete service that covers all of their monetary needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the type of finance you need advice on is regulated, such as a residential mortgage or pension, you will be assigned an adviser who is CeMAP, DipPFS or equivalently qualified.
Some of the financial products our team advise on are unregulated, such as commercial mortgages. Our brokers for this type of finance also hold industry-standard mortgage qualifications but have the flexibility to arrange bespoke, flexible deals.
Our mortgage brokers and financial advisers would be more than happy to show you their credentials on request if this would give you peace of mind.
