Money Forward Home Co., Ltd. will begin offering 'Money Forward Academia' on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, an online community that encourages actions related to money through 'experience and interaction' in addition to acquiring financial knowledge. This community provides a place to go a step further from the financial information available on SNS and support household improvement and asset building to move life forward through two-way communication between financial experts, influencers, and members. Also, with the launch of this community, the 'Fuyu x Kura! Money Club' will be opened by frugality geek influencer Fuyuko and frugality YouTuber Kurama (Kenja no Ryugi), and recruitment for participants will begin.
■ Background of Provision
Since the start of the new NISA in 2024, interest in asset building has rapidly increased, and awareness of investment and household management is rising. On the other hand, the atmosphere that money is a difficult topic to talk about openly remains.
In a questionnaire survey conducted among users of our money visualization service 'Money Forward ME', about 35% of the respondents answered that they 'do not talk about money with people around them daily.' Also, as reasons for 'not talking about money with people around them daily,' answers such as 'because the content becomes negative', 'because it gets awkward', 'because there is an image that it is a topic that should not be touched', and 'because I feel like I will be compared to others' were raised (*1).
Under our Mission to 'Move everyone's money forward. Move yourself forward,' we want to turn learning and conversations about money into the 'joy of carving out your own life' through encounters and interactions with peers who have a high interest in money, and content by reliable experts and influencers. From this desire, we are starting an online community as a place where anyone can positively and enjoyably discuss money.
