The Money Advice Service is a UK-wide organisation dedicated to helping people manage their money better. It can be contacted via its website
www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk or by telephone on 0300 500 5000.
Financial Capability Strategy for the UKThe
Financial Capability Strategy for the UK aims to help people manage their money better day to day and through major life events, and to deal with periods of financial difficulty. Money adviceIn line with its statutory function (see below) the Service provides information and advice to consumers across a wide range of money matters. The Money Advice Service is available online at
www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk and six days a week by webchat and telephone.
[2] The telephone number for the Service is 0300 500 5000. The Service can also be contacted by email at
enquiries@moneyadviceservice.org.uk.
The Money Advice Service makes its tools and content freely available to partner organisations for use on their own websites and in other customer communications.
[3] Debt adviceThe Money Advice Service is the largest single funder of debt advice in the UK. In 2015/16 it will – through its partners – aim to deliver 370,000 sessions of free debt advice. References
The Money Advice Service was set up to help tackle low levels of financial capability in the UK. In 2007, the then
Economic Secretary to the Treasury,
Ed Balls, commissioned the
Thoresen Review of Generic Financial Advice (published in March 2008) which found that a national service to provide ‘money guidance’ would be beneficial.
References The Money Advice Service is funded by two separate levies on the financial services industry – one covering the Service’s debt advice activities, the other for its wider money advice and financial capability initiatives. These levies are collected from firms by the
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The legislation establishing the Money Advice Service included provision for a review of its operation. In May 2014 then
Economic Secretary to the Treasury,
Andrea Leadsom appointed Christine Farnish to conduct an
independent review of the Service. Her
report was published by the Treasury on 20 March 2015, containing 25 specific recommendations on how the Money Advice Service could improve. Money Advice Service responseIn its immediate
response to the Farnish Review, the Money Advice Service accepted most of the recommendations made and indicated that these were in alignment with the Service’s existing direction of travel. On 3 August 2015,
HM Treasury and the
FCA
announced a new
Financial Advice Market Review (FAMR), to be led by the FCA, with HM Treasury leading on a
consultation on the provision of public financial guidance to run alongside. The consultation will look at:

The requested text's references are not formatted according to the citation style predominantly in use with the subject article ( WP:CITEVAR). Any additions made to the article should have references formatted according to the style already in use with the article. Please see the Reply section below for more information about this issue. |
Please can the page be edited to reflect the fact that the Money Advice Service has now been succeeded by a new organisation, the Money and Pensions Service?
For reference, existing article opening sentence: The Money Advice Service is an organisation established with cross Government party support, that provides free and impartial advice on money and financial decisions to people in the United Kingdom.
The suggested changes are: - Replace references to "Money Advice Service" in the title, opening paragraph and paragraph 2 to read "Money and Pensions Service" [1] [2] [3]
- Add at the foot of the article: In January 2019, The Single Financial Guidance Body replaced the Money Advice Service, the Pensions Advisory Service and Pension Wise. The new organisation's remit was to provide debt advice, money guidance and pension guidance in the same place. [4]
The launch of the Money and Pensions Service brand took place in April 2019, replacing The Single Financial Guidance Body following parliamentary approval of the new name. Its first action will be a UK-wide series of events giving organisations and businesses the chance to help shape the Money and Pensions Service National Strategy and establish the three-year corporate plan, which is to be announced later in 2019.

Thank you for your response. Updated citations can be found below.
Also, COI is that I work with the external press office for the Money and Pensions Service.

The proposal is to change the article's name to the Money and Pensions Service, with the claim in the 3rd sentence stating that this is the successor organization to the Money Advice Service. Then, the fourth sentence states "The Single Financial Guidance Body replaced the Money Advice Service"
. The 6th paragraph goes on to state "Money and Pensions Service brand took place in April 2019, replacing the Single Financial Guidance Body."
There seems to be some difficulty settling on a name for this organization. If the name is changed now, are we to be sure it won't change again, or is there a newer name coming next month. Please clarify, is this to change the article's title? The reason why I ask is because sometimes titles are changed after a period of time has elapsed where a majority of sources are using the new name. Again, please confirm if this is to change the title. When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{
request edit}}
template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes
to |ans=no
. Thank you!

The Single Financial Guidance Body was a temporary name, in place only until the new name, Money and Pensions Service, received parliamentary approval. Now this has happened, we can be confident in changing the article title. Thank you. 85.184.195.130 ( talk) 10:29, 15 April 2019 (UTC)DanDJThompson 85.184.195.130 ( talk) 10:29, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, would recommend further edits to this page for clarity and accuracy. This gives further information on the Chair, CEO, more accurately reflects the organisation's history beyond just being a successor to the Money Advice Service as Pension Wise and TPAS were also predecessors. Also added citations and infobox, as articles for equivalent organisations such as StepChange have this to help readers:
The Money and Pensions Service (sometimes stylized as Money & Pensions Service) is an organisation that provides free advice on money, pensions and financial decisions to people in the United Kingdom. It is an organisation whose statutory objectives are to enhance the understanding and knowledge of people about financial matters (including the UK financial system) and to enhance their ability to manage their own financial affairs. The service provides free money guidance and debt advice online and by telephone. The organisation was set up by the UK Government and is paid for by a statutory levy on the financial services industry [1]. It is an arm’s-length body, sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions, with a joint commitment to ensuring that people throughout the UK have guidance and access to the information they need to make effective financial decisions over their lifetime. Its current chair is Sir Hector Sants [2] and the CEO is John Govett [3].
The service was launched in January 2019, combining the Money Advice Service, The Pensions Advisory Service and Pension Wise to form a single guidance body [4]. The decision to merge the organisations into one new body was originally announced in March 2016 by HM Treasury and confirmed in The Queen’s Speech of June 2017 [5] [6].
The Money and Pensions Service is set to launch its National Strategy and three-year corporate plan in Autumn 2019, following three months of events that seek the views of stakeholders on what should be included in the new strategy [7] [8]. References

Have added further sources, linked to an article that explains an arm’s-length body (have stuck with this term though the article links to the Wikipedia page links to Quango as the terms are synonymous, but arm’s-length body is easier to understand for the layperson. Have specified the timeframe for the listening period to align with MOS:RELTIME. Thanks
