United KingdomEnglish-language YouTube channels run by a person, not by a brand, a group or a fan page. Channels YouTube marks as made for kids are left out. Each one uploaded at least eight long-form videos in the 12 months to October 20, 2026, and at least one in the 60 days before that date.
The channel’s main content category, as Streamforge classifies it from the channel’s videos, has to be personal finance, investing or money skills.
Every channel was then checked against its 15 most recent video titles. Channels that mostly post something else now, or that read as a brand, news, fan or compilation channel, were left out.
Each creator gets one place. Where a creator runs more than one qualifying channel, the list ranks the channel with the most views and links the others under Channels.
By views in the 12 months from October 20, 2025 to October 20, 2026: the views on the long-form videos each channel posted in that time. Shorts and live streams are not counted.
We rank by views, not subscribers, because subscribers count everyone who ever followed a channel. Views show who is being watched now. Subscribers are still shown for every channel.
A channel counts when its main content category is personal finance, investing or money skills. Every long-form video it posted in the 12 months is counted.
Subscribers is the count YouTube showed at our last check. Views are the views the list ranks by, over the 12 months. Main topics are the content categories Streamforge assigns the channel, the first one most.
Audience is Streamforge’s AI estimate of who watches: the larger side of the split between women and men, and the largest age group. It does not need the creator to connect an account, and Streamforge has benchmarked the technique against the platforms’ own audience data. It is an estimate, not the channel’s YouTube analytics.
Channels links the creator’s other YouTube channels and profiles on other platforms, as Streamforge links them. The one-line notes are written from each channel’s recent video titles.
