Financial counselling

Our dedicated financial counselling services offer valuable guidance and advice on debt matters, financial management, and the process of applying for a social loan.

Our primary objective is to empower you with essential financial management skills, enhance your ability to independently handle your finances, and prevent further indebtedness.

We also provide financial counselling when applying for a social loan. We also advise on financial matters after receiving a negative loan decision and in situations where applying for a loan is not justifiable.

Our financial and debt counselling services are offered free of charge and specifically tailored to Helsinki residents seeking to improve their everyday financial management skills. By working together with our experienced financial and debt counselling professionals, you can develop a solid foundation for sound financial practices.

You can access our financial and debt counselling services by appointment.
