Helping people to find their benefits
Inbest partners with financial firms, welfare advisers and money management apps to help people maximise their income and reduce their bills.
Identify
In the UK there are over 8mn households missing £16bn in benefits. The most common reason why people miss their benefits is that they are unaware of the benefits they are entitled to or assume that they are not eligible.
Inbest uses existing customers’ information to compare the benefits that people receive with the benefits they are entitled to. Our partners use this information to identify customers with unclaimed benefits and nudge them to check their benefits entitlement.
On average, we help customers find additional income of £5,000 per year.
Inbest calculates entitlements to benefits, grants, social tariffs, and local support schemes. Then, Inbest offers tools and content to help customers to apply for their benefits and access free and independent money advice.
On average, Inbest customers are entitled to £8,000 per year.
Inbest monitors customers’ benefits entitlement and compares it with the benefits they are receiving. Our partners use this information to send proactive and personalised notifications to incentive customers to take action and get all the benefits they are eligible for.
Up to 50% of Inbest customers return to the benefits calculator to view and manage their benefits.

“Benefit applications are overly complex and require customers to search for financial information in their bank statements. Through our new partnership with Inbest, we’ll take the pain away from this process, ensuring the most up-to-date information is being provided to our clients and their customers to create the best possible financial outcomes.”Susan RannCEO

We are helping credit unions to provide additional ways to improve their customers' financial well-being, and there's no doubt that this is one of them.”Andrew DuncanCEO
