The arrangement
1. Give us an address

2. It arrives on a schedule
A regular edition, plus the occasional offer from a partner.
3. Stay or go
Leaving takes one click and applies straight away.
Why subscribe
No platform links
We never refer to a broker, app or provider for commission.
Admin reduced
Systems that need attention monthly rather than constantly.
Plain language
If a term needs explaining, we explain it rather than assuming.
Caveats included
Where something depends on your circumstances, we say which ones.
How often it lands
The letter comes once a week.
Asked and answered
How do I opt out?
Use the link at the bottom of any issue. We keep your address on a suppression list afterwards purely to make sure nothing reaches you again.
Will my address be passed on?
No. We do not sell, rent or trade the list, and we do not pass addresses to advertisers.
Is my reading tracked?
We do. It tells us whether an issue was worth writing, and when to remove an address that has gone quiet.
Who am I hearing from?
Pocket Finance Diary is written by a small team. Replies go to a real mailbox and we read them.
How regular is it?
One a week, plus offers from advertisers we work with.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is nothing to buy and no account to create.
