In February, Australia’s popular credit card comparison site Credit Card Compare was relaunched by the Boyd brothers Andrew, David and Gareth Boyd. The online relaunch has ushered in speculation on the future of the credit card market in Australia.

In 2018, Credit Card Compare acquired Finty.com and merged CreditCardCompare.com.au into Finty in 2019, the popular comparison site released a statement at the time explaining their approach, so it begs the question of why the Boyd brothers have suddenly reversed and relaunched their once popular platform

Based in Port Macquarie, Australia, David Boyd, co-founder and Managing Director, has commented, in words quoted by CMO Australia: “For the past decade, we’ve focused on building and refining our sophisticated technology and credit card database to create a way for Australian consumers to make more informed credit card choices according to their lifestyle and financial situation.” He added that the site now has more than 2 million visits annually.

Credit Card Compare quickly grew over the years to become one of Australia's most popular credit card comparison sites, with over 2 million visits from Aussies looking to compare credit cards.

The team at Credit Card Compare was one of the first platforms to offer a credit check app in Australia, inspired by competitors in the UK market.

The relaunch has been met with exceptional positivity from our team, filling us with immense joy. With the Boyd brothers combining their collective expertise, we are in a great position to re-establish our presence in the Australian market.
