Money Dashboard is a personal financial assistant that shows you exactly where money goes and helps you make better decisions. Use it to connect to all your current accounts, savings accounts and credit cards from whichever institutions you bank with, all together in one secure place. Money Dashboard is the only place which gives you the true view of your finances, so you can keep an eye on your day-to-day spending, and monitor whether you’re earning more than you’re spending, and making efficient use of any credit. It even lets you know if you’re likely to have any spare money left to spend at the end of the month. And for those who want to save, Money Dashboard uses your past spending patterns to predict future outgoings and potential savings so you can budget realistically for the future.

GoHenry is the money app giving 6-18-year olds a head start in life as they learn to earn, save, spend and invest - all with parental oversight. Having pioneered a new category in financial education when it launched in 2012, over 2.2 million kids have now learnt money skills with GoHenry. With the ultimate goal to make every kid smart with money, GoHenry believes the best way to learn is to get hands-on experience with money. Its parent and child apps help kids to Learn (via in-app, bite-sized money lessons, Money Missions); Earn (via regular chores, one-off tasks and giftlinks); Spend (responsibly via its prepaid debit card and real-time notifications); Save (via savings goals and interest on savings); Give (via regular micro-donations to the NSPCC); and Invest (via GoHenry’s Junior ISA). As a mission-led business, GoHenry is leading the push for financial education to be made compulsory in all schools across the UK from primary age.
