Moneyhub has partnered with Wyzr to launch an automated financial planning platform.

The platform, which uses Moneyhub’s Open Banking technology and Wyzr’s artificial intelligence algorithms, will launch its pilot later this month, allowing savers a 360-degree vision of their finances. The platform features automated savings goals so users can automatically put aside an amount they can afford each month, and can automatically create monthly budget for its users as a part of their financial plan by analysing their past spending. In addition to this, the platform will allow users to track the carbon footprint from their everyday spending and can easily offset and reduce it.
