Financial Finesse vs My Money Matters

Financial Finesse provides employer-sponsored financial coaching and personalized guidance to employees through a global platform. Employees at participating organizations can access live financial coaches by phone, chat, or video, as well as group learning sessions. U.S. coaches hold CFP® credentials; coaches in other countries hold locally recognized equivalents. The Aimee AI assistant creates personalized action plans, a Financial Wellness Score, answers about personal finance and benefits, and proactive nudges, with human oversight. Interactive tools, calculators, and life-event guides reinforce coaching. Topics include budgeting, debt repayment, emergency savings, employer benefits, equity compensation, retirement, insurance, home buying, education funding, and credit improvement. Employers can integrate benefits and use the SmartBenefits API to embed Aimee in recordkeeper sites, benefits portals, and internal tools. The company also offers program design, employee communications, data and ROI reporting, and ongoing optimization. Employee interactions are described as confidential, with employers receiving aggregate, anonymized data. Employees at participating organizations pay nothing and have no session limits. Employer pricing is on request and typically per eligible employee per year.

My Money Matters combines workplace financial education and coaching with products for saving, salary access, and pension contributions. Eligible employees can use On-Demand Pay to access up to 50% of earned salary before payday, capped at £850 per month, for £1.95 per transaction.

Active LGPS members can add to their pension through Shared Cost AVCs using salary sacrifice, saving on tax and National Insurance. The service includes financial health checks, learning resources, live webinars, one-to-one coaching, and Max, an AI assistant that answers money questions, directs users to resources, and suggests next steps. It is built for public sector employers and is available to employees whose employer partners with My Money Matters, including partner LGPS members and NHS employees.
