Why financial education matters

Financial literacy is an essential life skill. When people understand how money works, they’re better equipped to manage day-to-day finances, plan for major life milestones and build financial resilience.

Yet many young people leave education without practical financial knowledge. Although financial literacy will become part of the UK school curriculum from 2028, the need for support exists now. That’s why Aldermore is taking action today, helping young people gain financial confidence earlier, so they can make positive choices that shape their futures.

Building financial confidence across the UK

We believe financial confidence opens doors. It empowers people to pursue opportunities that might otherwise feel out of reach, whether that’s buying a home, starting a business or saving for the long term.

By improving access to trusted financial guidance, we’re helping ensure financial literacy is a foundation for opportunity, not a barrier to progress.

Why Aldermore is backing financial education

Financial wellbeing doesn’t happen by chance. It starts with knowledge and grows through confidence and opportunity.

By supporting financial education and partnering with organisations like The Money Charity , we’re helping more people access the tools and understanding they need to make informed financial decisions, today and in the future. This work reflects our wider commitment to responsible banking and long-term positive impact.
