Our Principles

Built to be trusted, not to push sales.

We never guess.

If a value is missing from your document or input, we flag it rather than inventing a number.

You confirm important details.

Review and edit all extracted rates and terms before any calculation becomes final.

Nothing is switched without your permission.

We present fair recommendations, but you remain in complete control of every action.

Every figure includes a full workings breakdown showing rates, consumption and fees.

Commercial Transparency

How Padlock operates

We may receive a commission if you switch through Padlock. Commission does not affect how we rank tariffs.

Tariffs are evaluated deterministically using pure price, contract duration, exit fees, and your exact bill inputs.
