About Money Ready: We make money make sense
We’re Money Ready – but you might know us formerly as MyBnk.
Money Ready is a leading financial education charity. Why is this important? Everyone needs to be able to manage their money. Yet almost two-thirds of young adults do not recall receiving any financial education at all, and 53 per cent are worried that they will never be financially secure. Poor financial literacy is central to many problems people face today, including rising mental health issues, homelessness and unemployment.
Money Ready aims to bridge this gap, working with over 50,000 individuals across the UK every year, delivering expert-led, high-impact financial education programmes on topics such as saving, debt and student finance.
Our vision:
A financially fluent population.
Our mission:
We bring the language of finance to life so that everyone can navigate their money with confidence, no matter where they start.
Our belief:
We believe that financial literacy should be considered a right for all because the language of money is a language for life.
Same charity, new identity
20 years ago, MyBnk was born, and we started delivering high impact financial education programmes to young people across the UK. We’ve been covering topics such as saving, budgeting, debt, and banking for almost two decades, both in person and online, working with over 500 organisations last year alone!
As the needs of our audience evolved, we thought it was time for a refresh. Our name and look may have changed, but we’re still offering the same best-in-class programmes to realise our vision and mission.
Expanding our impact: Welcoming RedSTART Educate
In 2025, we were proud to welcome RedSTART Educate into the Money Ready family. RedSTART was a leading charity in primary school financial education, known for its innovative workshops and virtual banking app that helped thousands of young children build strong money habits early in life.
By joining forces, we’re now delivering financial education from early years to adulthood, offering a lifelong learning journey that starts even earlier and reaches even further.
RedSTART’s Change the Game programme is now delivered through Money Ready. Find out more here.
