Funkled and Focus partner to expand access to financial education

Funkled and Focus have partnered to make financial education more practical for people across the UK. 

The partnership puts Focus’s digital client engagement tools straight into Funkled’s free learning platform.

This means users can set savings goals, analyse debt or plan a household budget right after learning about it.

From 1st August, Funkled will release a new learning module each day for 30 days and a new podcast episode daily for 15 days. 

Subjects include compound interest, pensions, bereavement and lasting power of attorney. 

The content is being produced with support from organisations such as Oxford Risk, Invesco, Zurich, Alexander Hall, Pension Pie, APS Legal and Cascade Cash Management.

Dan Russell, founder of Funkled, said: “The biggest barrier to growth in UK financial services isn’t regulation, and it isn’t AI; it’s the fact that most consumers simply don’t understand what we’re talking about. 

“Giving people knowledge on its own is pointless if they’ve nowhere to put it into practice, and giving them tools on their own is pointless if they don’t know why they need them.
