Frequently asked questions

The basics, answered.

What is JumpSteps?

JumpSteps is an independent financial matching platform — the trust layer for financial services. We review and rate banking, borrowing, investing, planning, and insurance products from across the market, then match you to the ones built for your goals. Our Clarity Matching AI Engine, Claire, scores each product against your goals to produce a personalized Match Score, so you can decide with confidence.

What is a Match Score?

Your Match Score is a real-time score calculated against your individual goals, showing how well a specific brand and product fit what you're trying to do. It's different from a brand's editorial rating, which reflects overall quality the same for everyone. Learn more about the Match Score.

Is JumpSteps really independent?

Yes. Every brand is scored on the same independent framework — partner and non-partner alike. We may receive compensation when you open a product through our platform, but that compensation never directly buys a better score or match. Full details are on our ratings methodology page and Terms of Use.

Does getting matched affect my credit?

No. Getting matched and generating a Match Score involves no credit check and no impact to your credit. A credit inquiry only happens later, if you choose to apply for a product directly with a brand.

How much does JumpSteps cost?

Getting matched is free. JumpSteps+ is an optional membership ($3/month or $24/year) that keeps Claire working between visits — re-matching as the market moves — plus more support and messages with Claire. You can cancel anytime.
