2026 Sorted Money Month


August provides Aotearoa with a financial wellbeing boost


Sorted Money Month is on now! Coordinated by Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission in partnership with the financial capability community, this public awareness and engagement campaign runs annually every August. Like last year, we’re focusing our efforts on building the resilience of New Zealanders with a single call to action around encouraging emergency savings. 

The peace of mind having an emergency fund brings is measurable, and research shows that starting, even with only a small amount, brings a significant boost to people’s financial resilience and wellbeing. National Strategy partners are a crucial part of Sorted Money Month as we collaborate across the financial capability sector to help transform people’s lives, whether in relation to 2026’s emergency savings theme or financial capability in general, and there’s still time if you’d like to take part!

We supply all sorts of resources and assets for you to use throughout Sorted Money Month.
