Quick Announce

The Your Money UK team today announces the launch of its new UK centric toolbar which is the most comprehensive and ambitious browser add-on of its kind. Unlike most toolbars it is not site specifc and offers an independent, community led browsing experience that provides users with direct access to the top brands and most popular internet sites. 

The toolbar is set up into 7 main categories, each one providing an easy to navigate menu for quick access to the most relevant sites:

Investment Category – A series of mini-menus that gives users access to the best UK sites for market commentary, discussion forums, news alerts, price feeds, investment education, research and analysis.

Personal Finance Category – This section is divided into the main areas of interest in the personal finance arena such as car insurance, home insurance, savings, mortgages, travel insurance, personal loans and credit cards. Within each section users are able to access the most popular online providers as well as a number of price comparison sites.

Shopping Category – This section is almost like having a typical UK high street on one’s browser. The main section not only has all the top brand names but also enables users to go directly to the exact page they are looking for. There is also an extensive second section that spotlights a number of specialist retailers such as pets, fitness etc.

Travel Category – This section enables users direct access to all the travel essentials such as booking flights, hotels and car hire but also enables travel and holiday searches to be conducted by type such as cruises, golfing breaks, off peak luxury and so on.

Charity Category – This section provides a menu of all the main UK charities so that users can keep up to date with the activities of their favourite categories and make online donations whenever they choose to do so.

Community Favs Category – This section is a user defined menu of the most popular sites of the Your Money UK community. It currently includes all the main social networking sites, catch up TV on demand and the community book club.

Latest News Category – This section has a number of newsfeeds including the main headlines, business news, sports news and regular content from a number of consumer sites. Each feed is updated every 30 minutes.

The toolbar also has a number of other excellent features and options including full customisation capability, a google search box, access to the RoboForm utility for enhanced online security, a radio player, a pop-up blocker and local weather reports. In short, the Your Money Community Toolbar provides a completely new browsing environment for UK consumers who like to surf and shop online. It is very easy to navigate and new content is being added all the time.

The toolbar is completely free to individual users and can be downloaded from the main Your Money UK site.
