Who We Are

MyMoneyCoach is a free public service provided by the Credit Counselling Society (CCS). The Credit Counselling Society is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to helping individuals and families find solutions to their debt and money problems. CCS provides consumers with confidential and free credit counselling services, credit education and debt management programs.

The Credit Counselling Society has been concerned for some time that there are very few Canadian websites that objectively show average Canadians how to save money on their everyday living expenses and how to make smart financial choices without trying to sell something. Since a significant part of the Credit Counselling Society’s expertise lies in saving people money and educating the public about personal money management, they recognized that they were well suited to provide this kind of a public service. The fact that so many people at the Credit Counselling Society are passionate about helping people make smart financial choices seemed to make this look like the perfect outreach for CCS to engage in. Educating the public through a website seemed to be a way to help far more Canadians than CCS could help through any other means.

Educating Canadians about the wise use of credit is a key part of the Credit Counselling Society's mandate. The Credit Counselling Society believes that doing this through MyMoneyCoach creates a true win-win situation where everyone gets what they want. Consumers get the information that they are looking for and the Credit Counselling Society gets the opportunity to educate them in the process.

Because the Credit Counselling Society is a non-profit organization, we believe that it is an ideal organization to sponsor a website like this and allow us to speak to Canadians in a frank but candid manner about their finances. Because the Credit Counselling Society is a not for profit organization, we believe that Canadians can trust that the staff of MyMoneyCoach.ca are not pressured to promote any company’s products or services. We believe that being sponsored by a non-profit entity allows us to be as objective as possible. Having said this, our experience in the financial industry combined with our research has admittedly influenced our perspective. We believe that Canadians can only be the wisest consumers when they are properly informed of all their options and are properly educated about how to make smart financial decisions. Through this website we believe that we can make a strong contribution towards educating Canadians about how to use their finances wisely. That is why we have created this website.
