Salary benchmarks
Our take
Since a group of parents in Hampshire came up with the idea in 2009, GoHenry has come a long way and now has more than 2 million customers across its UK and US territories. GoHenry has been named by KPMG and H2 ventures as one of the world’s Leading 100 Fintech Innovators and the company also ranked the 8th fastest-growing British tech business in the Sunday Times TechTrack 100.
GoHenry has definitely revolutionised something that has characterised parent-child relationships for many years: pocket money. With no control or education, children usually spend their money without being truly aware of its value and do not learn anything about money management. GoHenry provides a useful tool to help young people learn good money habits while giving parents peace of mind and an easy way to manage pocket money.
On this mission to help children gain a better financial understanding, GoHenry has released a gamified, interactive tool named Money Missions. In addition to this game, GoHenry launched a Junior ISA, to enable parents to invest in their child's future in a more simple yet effective way. This clearly has potential as 11,000 parents opted for a Junior ISA in its pre-launch phase, so it's proving to be a sizeable market.
