The Money Advice Service

The Money Advice Service: helping everyone make the most of their money

Citizens Advice Cymru is working with the new Money Advice Service to deliver face to face money advice sessions across Wales, to help everyone make the most of their money. We want to help people to take control of their finances.

We’re already well known and trusted for the debt advice services that we provide to the people of Wales (such as crisis debt management, negotiating with creditors and ongoing casework) and we’ll be continuing that work, as there’s still a great need for it.  But, we also know that if we can help you make the most of your money and make good financial choices you are less likely to end up in financial crisis.

The Money Advice Service is an independent organisation, here to help you manage your money better. It gives clear, unbiased advice to help you make informed choices.


Who can contact the Money Advice Service?

In short, everyone. No matter who you are, the right money advice can make a difference to your life – because when you take steps to manage your money better, you really can live better. Less worry, more peace of mind.

Face to face money advice sessions

Whilst every one can gain from a free, face to face session with an adviser, they are particularly useful if you’re going through significant changes in your life, such as:

  • moving into a new job
  • starting a family
  • taking retirement
  • setting up home for the first time
  • splitting up from a partner

What happens at a Money Advice Service session?

Our trained money advisers can help you manage your money day to day, plan for monthly outgoings and explain money matters in an easy to understand way, and, because the service is truly unbiased, we won’t recommend any products or try to sell you anything.

It’s about clear, unbiased money advice you can trust and that can make a real difference to your life:

  • budgeting and saving
  • credit and borrowing
  • mortgages
  • insurance
  • pensions and retirement planning

You’ll leave your session with an action plan so you know what to do next. The session should take no more than 45 minutes.
