New name for pensions support

Jun 7, 2021
The Government-backed Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) is launching MoneyHelper.


From June 2021, MoneyHelper will offer a single place for people to go for financial guidance. This includes free pensions support and guidance, either online or over the phone.

It will merge the services currently provided by:

  • The Money Advice Service
  • The Pensions Advisory Service and
  • Pension Wise

These services will no longer exist under separate names.

This means that from June the Government will offer just one, simple service, giving everyone access to free and impartial financial support on a range of issues, including pensions, savings, debt and budgeting.
