Financial Health Network has developed a proprietary tool to understand and improve customer financial health, referred to as the FinHealth Score® Toolkit (the “Toolkit”). The Toolkit includes the following three components:

  1.  A survey guide that provides the foundation for the financial health score;
  2.  The scoring logic used to calculate the financial health score and sub-scores; and
  3.  A set of national consumer benchmarks that can be used to interpret each financial health score.

The Toolkit generates a score that provides a holistic, moment-in-time snapshot of an individual’s financial health. The score is based on eight multiple-choice survey questions that correspond to Financial Health Network’s eight indicators of financial health. The Toolkit provides one overall score and four sub-scores (the “Scores”) that align with the four components of financial health (Spend, Save, Borrow, and Plan).
