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, estate planning and business finance.
The website 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, financial advisers and business experts.
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.
