Notes to editors

Quidco is the easy way for people to save money on every purchase. It pays cashback when people click through and make a purchase at any of the 1,800+ retailers listed on its website. It does this by paying all the commission it gets from the retailer, directly into their bank account.

Quidco was founded in 2005 with a mission to help people save money. It is the UKs leading cashback website and is bigger than its top 10 competitors combined (Source: Hitwise Jan 2010). Unlike some other cashback websites, Quidco gives members 100% of the commission that it earns. The site is free to join and currently has 754,138 members who will save a total of £35m this year.
