Match is one of the UK’s largest online dating platforms, founded in 1995. Available through a website and mobile app, Match uses a combination of profile matching and search tools to help users find compatible partners. Subscriptions are required to access full messaging features, with free basic accounts available for browsing profiles.
Does Match offer an NHS discount?
A discount for NHS staff has been available at Match through the verification widget at the top of this page. Verify NHS employment status to access the current offer. Terms and availability are subject to change, so it is worth confirming the current deal before subscribing.
Free versus paid membership at Match
A free Match account allows users to create a profile, upload photos and browse other members. Sending and reading messages requires a paid subscription. Subscription plans are available on a monthly basis or at a reduced rate when taken over a longer period, with the longer plans typically offering the best value per month.
How Match works
Match uses a profile-based matching system that suggests compatible users based on preferences including age, location and interests. The Discover feature presents daily match suggestions, while the search tool allows more specific filtering. The Match app is available on iOS and Android for messaging and browsing on the move.
Keeping costs down on Match
Match runs promotional offers throughout the year, particularly around Valentine’s Day and the new year period when dating platform usage tends to increase. Opting for a longer subscription plan rather than a rolling monthly arrangement typically reduces the monthly cost significantly. Any current promotional offers are listed at the top of this page.
Other dating platforms for NHS staff
NHS staff looking at other dating platforms can find deals on the eHarmony NHS discount page. The NHS dating discounts page covers all current offers on dating platforms available to healthcare workers.
