The Single Financial Guidance Body

The Single Financial Guidance Body (SFGB) was created to take over the obligations previously provided by three organisations, namely …

  • The Money Advice Service
  • The Pensions Advisory Service
  • Pension Wise

… bringing together for the first time the provision of debt advice, money guidance and pensions guidance.

Initially launched on 1 January 2019, the body will formally commence under its new name of the Money and Pensions Service (probably to be referred to as MAPS) from 6 April 2019.

Further information can be found on the (SFGB) website.

The MAPS website will be here and is due for launch by 6 April.
