Money and Pensions Service
UK government agency
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. Through partnerships, it also provides debt advice and pensions freedoms guidance to consumers, along with offering organisations such as employers syndicated money guidance content from its website.
The organisation was set up by the UK Government and is paid for by a statutory levy on the financial services industry.[3] It is an arm's-length body of the Department for Work and Pensions.[4][5]
MaPS is the largest funder of debt advice in England.
The service's chair is Sir Hector Sants.[6] In January 2020, Caroline Siarkiewicz was appointed as CEO.[7]
