The Money and Pensions Service (sometimes stylised as Money & Pensions Service or MaPS) is a British organisation whose statutory objective is to develop and co-ordinate a national strategy to improve people's financial capabilities.
[1][2] The service provides impartial, free money and pensions guidance directly to consumers 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.
[8] The decision to merge the organisations into one body was originally announced in March 2016 by HM Treasury and confirmed in the Queen's Speech of June 2017.
[9][10] In March 2021, MaPS announced that it would be consolidating its three legacy consumer brands into one brand called MoneyHelper, to provide a better and enhanced consumer experience and a single source of information and guidance.
