Very pleasant, professional and helpful.

Bery Sharif was very helpful and realised the service I was offered initially wasn't the most suitable so immediately arranged for a different contact for my circumstances - very pleasant, professional and helpful.

Brilliant Mortgage Advisor

As a long outstanding octopus energy customer, I was really keen and excited to use their financial services, and I am pleased to say that they did not disappoint.

Owen who is a Mortgage Advisor has been incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the past few months as we work our way through sale and purchase.
We have even had to change our purchase property and his support has been unwavering ensuring that we obtain the best deal possible.

I would absolutely recommend Octopus financial financial services and would like to thank Owen for his hard work in helping us.

Cash ISA deposit

I deposited some money in my Cash ISA and Omar contacted me to check if I wanted to have it registered to the 24/25 tax year while it wasn’t a requirement for me he was thoroughly professional and a pleasure to communicate with.

1st tailored session

Sharon explained everything clearly and in a very pleasant manner. The demonstration on how to use the plan was easy to understand. I already feel more focused on my goals and what I want to achieve.

Simplifies stock ISA management with respectful adviser/coach meetings that want you to achieve your financial goals.

I originally joined an OpenMoney Stocks ISA which is acquired by Octopus Money. I previously tried actively managing stocks but found it too stressful and often counter-productive, so I chose an option where it was controlled by experts.

It's been a few years since the Octopus Money transition. The management costs are still low. The site has improved and now provides more information than before on my ISA and the plan its under, while still being a site that's easy to understand and navigate

They recently offered to transfer to having a Coach/Adviser (original OpenMoney customers weren't transferred to this) which I accepted and have had 2 meetings. The adviser was warm and understanding of my personal situation. They asked what I wanted out of savings in the short and long term, and created a plan to reassure me that was possible. It felt like they listened and didn't try to fit my situation into a pre-defined form. It was helpful and I feel more secure with my savings plan generally.

My savings are relatively small but I didn't feel belittled for not being a high-earner. They seemed to be realistic in saying: "here's how we can get from where you are now, to where you want to be while taking into account the lifestyle and priorities you want while getting there". I have had previous financial advice from other places that made me feel like I was wasting their time (or worse, my life) by having lower earnings, modest goals, and not wanting to sacrifice everything else for some arbitrary savings number. Instead, this seemed a lot more realistic on what I could actually do and that it would be worthwhile to meet my aims.

I also appreciated how they showed care and respect by asking at the start of each meeting whether the scheduled end-time was a strict end for me (i.e. if I was busy afterwards) or if it could go overtime if required. I wasn't busy afterwards in either meeting but we only went overtime in the first one (by 5-10 minutes) but not the second. In both cases, I felt like they used the time well and checked throughout that I understood what they were saying and it fit with my goals. It felt like they only went overtime when it was required to make sure the information was correct, but that they would have strictly stuck to the time if I needed them to.

Kathryn was so good!

Kathryn was so good. Explained everything well, covered all the options, and genuinely understood the direction I was hoping to go in.

Highly Recommend - Don’t Go Anywhere Else

Do not go anywhere else!!! Had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Caroline Biebuyck. Very patient with me and explained every single step. Very knowledgeable and exceptionally helpful.

Caroline walked me through every single step to get my finances in better order, understanding my own pension pot and how to save better for the future.

The time that Caroline put into the plan was most appreciated and definitely helped put the long term plan into better perspective.

I am now just holding shortly before potentially going forward with a SIPP but am continuing to see Caroline for catch up during the year.

Caroline is a highly professional individual and a credit to her profession and the company. I would highly recommend both.

Excellent Service

My Octopus Money Planner, S., has been such a fantastic support and very patient with my timeline and plan changes. Kudos to her for creating such a personalised detailed plan for me, and Octopus Money for their excellent service in general.

Fantastic service following bereavement.

Bery Sharif has kept in contact with me while I have been executor of my late mother's estate. She guided me through what I needed to do to close Mum's stocks and shares ISA and returned documents promptly. She has arranged to dedicate a tree with the Woodland Trust in Mum's memory which is a lovely idea. Of all the financial services I have had to deal with she is the only who made me feel that she understood what I was going through. I would not hesitate to recommend Octopus money and may invest with them myself.
