Salary benchmarks
Our take
Nudge Global is a financial platform that teaches users how to manage their money better in order to achieve their financial targets. The platform is available to users via a sponsoring institution, therefore its users are usually employees of the sponsor.
By providing users with personalised guidance based on their goals, personality and lifestyle, Nudge maximises their chances of reaching their objectives. The company uses its proprietary technology that combines personal finance content, user information and behavioural psychology to send reminders and information to users, improving their financial skills and encouraging them to follow the financial plan.
Already counting the likes of Samsung, PayPal and Virgin Atlantic amongst their client base, Nudge aims to help companies improve the financial literacy of their employees as part of a wider effort to support wellbeing. With nearly 40% of adults across the OECD failing to understand a basic set of financial concepts, there is a growing need to educate individuals around their basic financial needs.
