What is ExpatMoneyChannel?
ExpatMoneyChannel is the first comprehensive financial website dedicated solely to the 5.5 million British expatriates who currently live overseas, as well as the tens of thousands of Brits planning to live abroad. At present, there is no single portal where expatriates can get independent financial information on the wide range of financial options available to them, navigate the latest complex tax and regulatory laws, compare products as well as participate in forums and surveys specifically on finance. The launch of ExpatMoneyChannel.com changes this.
Who are the people behind TheExpatMoneyChannel?
ExpatMoneyChannel is an idea devised by Hannah Beecham and Deborah Benn, both are financial journalists who have a vast amount of experience writing for expatriates. They both believe passionately in financial education. Their knowledge and expertise on the main issues facing expatriates ensures the site has the much needed editorial integrity and independence required.
