Transparency

The service must be clear about any commercial arrangement with suppliers.

Accuracy

Be comprehensive

he service must show an appropriate number of suppliers and take into account customer services throughout the sign up process.

Ofcom's scheme called the Price Accreditation scheme is awarded to companies who feel that they meet these criteria. The aim of this is to highlight those services that offer the most accurate and easy to use information for their users and only services accredited by Ofcom can display the Ofcom Price Accreditation logo.
