How it works
Employees meet with their own money expert
Everyone, across all levels, gets matched with their own coach or adviser for free, confidential video sessions.
They discuss employees’ financial goals. They explain the total rewards package your company offers. And they stay in contact for whenever money questions come up.
It’s chat – without the bots.
They create a personalised plan and forecast
Give employees access to powerful tools to help them make better money decisions.
They’ll create an interactive financial forecast – to help them visualise the long-term impact of decisions today.
They’ll get a specific action plan for whatever they’re saving for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most popular features of Octopus Money?
For employees, the most popular features from Octopus Money are the ability to:
- Get a visualised year-by-year forecast, all the way to retirement, so employees can be confident making bigger financial decisions
- Find out how much to save, invest and put into pension to reach your goals
- Keep track of the money actions you agree with your coach
- Add your partner’s finances at no additional cost
Are you FCA-regulated?
Yes.
However, our money coaches will not provide regulated “financial advice” to your employees. For example, they will never recommend specific investment products or funds to your employees. Instead, they will offer impartial guidance and education, helping employees understand the pros and cons of different options so they can make more informed decisions.
Some employees with more complex circumstances can choose to meet with a regulated financial adviser from our team and receive regulated financial advice.
Why do your costs qualify for tax-efficient salary sacrifice?
In 2017, a bill was passed allowing an employee to receive up to £500 p.a. of ‘pension advice’ as a non-taxable benefit. Every employee that works with a coach or adviser to “Plan Their Goals” will get a personalised retirement plan to help them make better decisions about their pensions. You can read more on our approach to pension advice here. And here’s the full details of EIM21803.
