Editorial standards and transparency
What our information is for, how we aim to maintain it, and what readers should not assume.
Our purpose
Family Money Matters is a community-focused financial education project. We publish free explanations, exercises and downloadable worksheets so people can better understand financial decisions. The project is not presented as a registered charity.
Financial education, not advice
We do not assess personal suitability, recommend named financial products, arrange regulated transactions or provide regulated financial advice through this website. Examples and calculators are illustrative only. Financial guidance may change and circumstances matter.
Editorial approach
We aim to use plain English, distinguish facts from illustrations, link to primary public sources where practical and correct material errors. A publication date is not a guarantee of continuing accuracy. Please check official sources before relying on time-sensitive information.
Funding and relationships
This website does not offer paid product comparison placements, affiliate product rankings or online subscriptions in its current public version. Family Money Matters is currently operated by Cross-Border Worldwide Ltd, a separate, non-FCA-authorised company. Any future funding, conflicts of interest or commercial arrangements should be clearly disclosed before they affect published content.
Corrections and feedback
To report an error or suggest a topic, email [email protected]. Please do not send confidential financial, medical or identity documents.
Privacy and accessibility
Our calculators run locally in your browser and require no account. Read our Privacy Policy. We aim for readable layouts, keyboard access and meaningful labels; please report accessibility difficulties so they can be reviewed.
Regulatory boundaries
Our editorial policy does not itself establish the legal status of every communication. Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 may apply where material invites or induces regulated investment activity. We avoid promotional calls to action and specific financial product recommendations.
