About Octopus Money

Were on a mission to become the most recommended financial services business in the UK

Money shapes every part of life. Yet most people never get the support they need:

• Half of Brits reach retirement age without enough to live the life they want
• Financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health
• Only 8% of people have access to 1-to-1 financial advice

Theres no shortage of information. What people actually need is clarity guidance and a plan that makes sense for them.

Thats where we come in.

Octopus Money brings together financial planning investment expertise and smart technology so people can understand their options and take action with confidence. We help people build a clear plan for their savings investments and pensions and make investing simple with managed portfolios built by experts.

Some people need regulated advice. Others need coaching. Many need both at different points in life. Our service adapts to what each person needs.

We believe everyone deserves money support that works for real life.
