How we support people with ADHD

If you have ADHD, you can feel restless, you may have trouble concentrating and can act on impulse - which can all make managing your money difficult.

We worked with YouGov to commission a survey of people living with ADHD across the UK. The majority (60%) of people told us it directly impacts their financial lives because of issues with money management, costing them on average an estimated £1,600 per year.

Monzo features that can help people with ADHD

Pots Use Pots to set money aside automatically using Salary Sorter. This gives you better oversight of where your money is and what it’s for.
