Who is it for?
We’re making financial planning and advice more accessible for everyone. That means for anyone who wants to make more of your money and feel confident they’re on track to reach their goals.
Here are just a few of the reasons we hear most often from clients:
- “I want help buying a property.”
- “I’ve got kids on the way and I want to make sure my finances are in order.”
- “I’ve got several big goals in mind and I want to check I’m saving for them all in the best way.”
- “I’m thinking ahead to retirement and want to make sure I’m going to have enough.”
Unfortunately, there are a few circumstances we can’t yet help with:
- Are you in debt crisis? It’s better to speak to StepChange,
the UK’s leading debt charity - Are you likely to retire or withdraw from your pension within the next 5 years and have less than £200k in your pension(s)? It’s better to check out PensionWise or find an adviser through Unbiased.co.uk
- Are you living or working outside the UK? Our technology and advice is all tailored for the UK – including UK tax rules and legislation
- Are you a US citizen? Our technology and advice is all tailored for the UK – including UK tax rules and legislation
What are the risks of investing my money with Octopus Money?
As with any investments, there are risks that the value of the investments will fall as well as rise. These risks are reduced by ensuring you are invested at an appropriate level of risk, and in a diversified, managed portfolio.
Do I have to be a UK resident to use Octopus Money?
Yes, for the time being, you must be a resident and taxpayer of the UK to use our services. That’s because our technology and recommendations are all customised for the UK – including UK tax rules, legislation that applies to UK pensions and other guidance particular to the UK money system.
Unfortunately, we also cannot help US citizens or US dual-citizens.
