Plain-English Finance Guides

The terms that keep coming up in the news, explained simply.

FinanceSimply was built for people who feel shut out of financial news, the kind that assumes you already know what a base rate or an ISA is. Founded in the UK, every edition is written from scratch: no jargon assumed, no finance background required. Just what happened, why it matters, and what it means for your money.

Common Questions

What is FinanceSimply?

FinanceSimply is a free daily UK finance newsletter. Every weekday morning, you get 3–5 of the most important UK money stories delivered before 8am, explained in plain English. No jargon, no assumed knowledge, just what's happening and what it means for you.

How much does it cost?

The daily newsletter is completely free, no credit card, no trial period. A Premium subscription costs £0.99/month or £9.99/year (2 months free vs monthly). Cancel anytime with no fees.

What's included in the free newsletter?

3–5 UK finance stories every weekday morning before 8am. Each story includes the context, jargon explained in plain English, and the real-world impact for a UK household. No spam, one-click unsubscribe.

What do Premium subscribers get?

Everything in the free newsletter plus: deeper analysis on each story, a weekly Stock Spotlight breaking down a UK-listed company in plain English (educational commentary only, not investment advice), a Scary Headline Verdict that cuts through media fear, and full access to the newsletter archive. £0.99/month or £9.99/year.

How long does it take to read each issue?

Around 3 minutes. Each issue covers 3–5 stories, written to give you the full picture quickly, no padding, no filler.

Where is FinanceSimply available?

Anywhere in the United Kingdom. The newsletter covers UK-specific finance only, interest rates, energy bills, taxes, housing, wages, and pensions, so it is relevant no matter which region you live in.

What makes FinanceSimply different from other finance newsletters?

It is written for people who find finance confusing, not for people who already work in finance. UK-only content, no US market noise, and the free tier is genuinely free forever. Every story includes the context and jargon explanation, not just the headline.

When does the newsletter arrive?

Every weekday morning (Monday to Friday) before 8am. Free subscribers receive no weekend emails. Premium subscribers also receive occasional weekend deep-dives.

Do I need any finance knowledge to understand it?

No. FinanceSimply was built for people with no finance background. Every story is written assuming zero prior knowledge, the context, key terms, and so what are always explained from scratch.

How do I cancel my Premium subscription?

Cancel anytime from your account dashboard under Billing, or by emailing hello@financesimply.co.uk. No cancellation fees. You keep Premium access until the end of your current billing period.
