Spending and saving

Whatever your goals, we have ways to help your money go further. Your focus might be on saving for retirement, a deposit on a house, paying off student or credit card debt or looking after a young family. Whatever your goals, there are a range of options we offer both through the Spectrum benefits package and other services that can help.

Nudge

At the heart of our financial wellness support, nudge is designed to give you independent information and guidance to help find your way through the complex world of personal finances. Nudge works by giving you three things: 

  • A ‘nudge’ when something happens that affects your finances: moving home, changes to income or new legislation - you’re told what you need to know, without having to ask.
  • An independent, confidential and sales-free website providing learning guides on everything from insurance to ISAs; crowdfunding to credit cards
  • 'People Like You' comparisons that help you set and achieve your Dreams & Goals 

You can access the tool through Spectrum or by clicking here.

Available to permanent employees and those on fixed term contracts only.
