Octopus MoneyCoach (Formerly Hatch Financial Planning)

Octopus MoneyCoach is a financial planning and financial coaching service which employees can pay for via salary sacrifice. Octopus MoneyCoach’s team of coaches are money management experts who help you build your financial plan.

The first step is to book a FREE financial planning session with a financial coach.

This first session is a chance for you to:

Discuss your goals and current finances
Get an initial assessment of how your finances could be improved
Ask any questions you may have about managing your money (or Octopus MoneyCoach)

If you would like to continue after the free session, you can select the Octopus MoneyCoach benefit via the MyLife [VMware network access required] benefits portal. This will give you full access to the service for the following 12 months.
