What Are Penny's Daily Facts and Insights?

Penny's Daily Facts and Insights are short, personalised updates designed to help you think differently about your spending.

Rather than overwhelming you with reports and statistics, Penny highlights interesting facts about your financial behaviour whenever there's something worth sharing.

Some insights may make you smile, some may surprise you and others may encourage you to rethink your spending habits—but they're all designed to help you build a better relationship with your money.

Personalised to You

Every insight is based on your own spending behaviour and financial activity.

Rather than showing generic tips, Penny looks for meaningful facts that are relevant to you and your spending patterns.

You'll only receive an insight when Penny has something interesting to tell you.

Compare Yourself with Similar People

One of Penny's unique features is benchmarking.

Using anonymised data from over one million users, Penny can show you how your spending compares with people who have similar financial characteristics.

For example, Penny might tell you:

• "You were the 160th highest spender at McDonald's last month out of 25,000 similar users."
• "You spent less on groceries than 70% of people similar to you."
• "Your spending on fuel was lower than most people in your area."

These comparisons are designed to give your spending context rather than judge your choices.

Highlight Spending Habits

Sometimes Penny will point out spending habits that stand out.

For example:

• "You were in the top 1% of Starbucks spenders last month, spending £500."
• "Your takeaway spending increased by 35% compared with last month."
• "You visited restaurants twice as often as similar users."

These insights are intended to encourage reflection and help you decide whether your spending still aligns with your financial goals.

Celebrate the Small Wins

Daily Facts aren't just about highlighting overspending.

Penny also celebrates positive financial behaviours and progress.

For example, you might see:

• "You were in the bottom 50% of Tesco spenders last month."
• "You spent less on takeaways than similar users."
• "You reduced your subscription spending compared with last month."
• "Your savings increased again this week."

Building healthy financial habits is about recognising progress as well as identifying opportunities to improve.

Encouragement, Not Judgement

Penny's insights are designed to inform and motivate—not criticise.

The goal is to help you become more aware of your financial habits, celebrate your successes and gently encourage positive changes where appropriate.

Small changes made consistently can have a significant impact over time.
