Unlike other mobile-first financial apps, ANNA has created an experience that’s more like having a personal assistant than just a collection of services, and it is ANNA’s groundbreaking AI that makes this possible.

Machine learning enables the ANNA app to process text commands in natural language into “skills”. Meaning that most tasks – from creating and paying invoices to setting up Direct Debits and downloading statements – can be done through ANNA’s highly sophisticated in-app chat function. Just ask for something and the app does it.

This frees up ANNA’s 24/7 customer support team to respond to more complex requests in under a minute (monitor the live response time here). No wonder ANNA is rated Excellent on TrustPilot with a score of 4.6.

Meanwhile, ANNA’s pioneering +Taxes service can take care of VAT filing, payroll, set aside money for Corporation Tax and ensure SMEs stay compliant by not missing any HMRC deadlines. ANNA estimates that using +Taxes instead of an accountant saves businesses £2k/year.

GoCompare is a comparison website that enables people to compare the costs and features of a wide variety of insurance policies, financial products and energy tariffs.

When it launched in 2006, it was the first comparison site to focus on displaying policy details rather than just listing prices, with the aim of helping people to make better-informed decisions when buying their insurance. It is this approach to comparing products that secured the company an invitation to join the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) in 2008, and it is still the only comparison site to be a member of this organisation.

GoCompare has remained dedicated to helping people choose the most appropriate products rather than just the cheapest and works with Defaqto, the independent financial researcher, to integrate additional policy information into a number of its insurance comparison services. This allows people to compare up to an extra 30 features of cover.
