People who can confidently manage their money and plan their spend are financially well.

Being in control of what you spend, save, borrow and plan for means you’re well positioned to:

• Pay bills on time and spend within your means
• Deal with unexpected expenses, like a boiler breakdown
• Handle your borrowings comfortably
• Plan for and meet your long-term goals

The Financial Wellbeing Index is designed to help you assess how well prepared you are to meet your financial needs by providing a moment-in-time snapshot of your financial wellbeing. The score is based on eight multiple-choice survey questions that correspond to the Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI’s) indicators of financial health which align with four components -Spend, Save, Borrow, Plan.

Every user who responds to the eight questions in the Financial Wellbeing Index will receive a Financial Wellbeing score between 0 and 100. Financial Wellbeing scores from 0-39 are considered “Struggling” scores from 40-59 are considered “Stretched” scores from 60-79 are considered “Managing” scores from 80-100 are considered “Thriving”.

• Struggling
• Stretched
• Managing
• Thriving

The result enables you to take stock of your financial situation, and think about managing your money more effectively. Whatever category you find yourself in, we have the knowledge and resources to help you to improve.
