History
Uswitch launched in September 2000. Originally focusing on energy deals, it opened up the energy market to competition by offering consumers more choice and better prices. Working closely with industry regulator Ofgem, Uswitch helped found the Confidence Code in 2002, a code of practice requiring UK-based price comparison services to adhere to it in order to be accredited by Ofgem. It expanded by adding a mobile phone comparison service in 2001 and a home broadband comparison service in 2005. In 2018, Red Ventures and the investment firm Silverlake purchased Uswitch from the property giant Zoopla to create RVU, a family of brands of which Uswitch is now a part. Over the last 25 years, it says it has saved consumers over £2.7 billion.
