Our take
Octopus Money believes that offering financial coaching to employees is the most effective way to improve their financial well-being. The company is a financial coaching start-up that aims to make useful financial advice accessible to everybody. According to the company, the employees who use its service - numbering at over 250,000 - save, on average, around £9700 per year.
The company differentiates itself through its business model - the service is free, and the company adopts upselling techniques. Octopus Money can easily be implemented by employers within their organisations, giving each employee their own expert financial coach for free. According to the company, most employees will then choose to upgrade their plans and become paying customers.
The business was formerly called Hatch and has been acquired by the Octopus Group. It also powers financial services firms aligned with its values to complement its financial coaching products, covering more bases to draw in a wider customer reach. Octopus Money already counts SecretEscapes, Epson, and Octopus Energy among its growing client base.
