Proven to encourage healthy money habits

A trial by the US government agency responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) found those who had access to money coaching were more likely to use a budget and pay bills on time, set aside emergency funds and increase savings.

How Money coach builds financial wellbeing

Action plans developed based on SMART goals

The OECD has identified that when behaviourally-informed and easy to understand financial guidance is combined with personalised goal setting and coaching, individuals are better able to overcome behavioural change barriers such as procrastination and forgetfulness.

Conversations cover money personalities and beliefs

Setting smart financial goals and talking through possible options in a 1:1 confidential coaching chat helps employees overcome self-limiting beliefs and take steps to move forward. Being accountable to a coach helps employees focus on tasks that may require short-term sacrifice for a long-term gain.

What people say about Money coach

“I really appreciate the help, I’m honestly happy with any guidance with budgeting/money management, I think that having a money coach is a fantastic thing and something I wanted to take the opportunity of!”

“Wagestream was mentioned on my first day of training. I saw coaching on the app and as I kind of wanted to hit this new job running and get ahead on stuff, it seemed like the right idea to talk about money!”

How Money coach works

Employees are given the option to have a 1:1 confidential coaching conversation in the app
Employees answer a few questions about their financial situation to Streamy, the coach bot, which helps our money coaches start the conversation in the right position
Coaches use Sir John Witmore’s Grow model to identify their financial goals, what might stop them from achieving them and what options they have before deciding on next steps
Coaches work with employees to develop an action plan, which could include using a budget or savings calculator, reading about options available or committing to a new habit.
Employees are encouraged to let their coach know how they go, and coaches reach out to employees to check they are making progress towards their goals.
