How we compare

Methodology

Polia publishes its full methodology. You know exactly how and why a product ranks first.

1. Data sources

Public sources (insurer sites, OFAS for LAMal, FINMA, SIX Group for SARON). Daily updates for rates, monthly otherwise.

2. Ranking criteria

Per product: price, coverage scope, caps, exclusions, customer service quality, financial solidity (AM Best/S&P ratings).

3. Transparent weighting

Health: 60% price, 25% service, 15% model. Mortgage: 80% rate/margin, 20% exit terms. Adjustable in the comparator.

4. No commission

We earn no commission from insurers, banks or operators. Income (long term) comes from premium subscriptions or transparent independent broker partnerships.

5. Updates & audit

Our algorithm is versioned. Every major update is documented. Found an error? Email us; we fix within 48 business hours.

6. Compliance

Polia is operated by Vanguard Advice SA as an independent comparator. Contract finalisation is handled by FINMA-registered partner brokers (Art. 41 LSA). Our display complies with LCD Art. 3.
