This year we have introduced a new category for our British Bank Awards – Online Financial Influencer of the Year.
We felt it was important to recognise the great work that influencers do in educating others about managing their money and making better choices. Helping others make better choices and increasing trust and transparency within financial services is something we’re passionate about here at Smart Money People. Perhaps one of your favourites is on this list and deserves your vote, and hopefully the nominees listed will give you some inspiration to add to your feed.
