Money Box Live: Digital Divide

Many of us use technology to manage bank accounts, pay bills or just find deals, but what about those who can't get online?

Just how much does technology impact your finances?

Do you search for the best deals on your laptop or phone? Perhaps you keep track of your money through online banking.

As many as 40% of people in the UK feel they cannot keep up with newer technology according to the charity the Good Things Foundation.

And not being online can cost you money, over 拢1,000 a year, according to Hargreaves Lansdown.

This week we've been out to meet people learning how to take on tech for the first time and Felicity Hannah is joined by Helen Milner, CEO of Good Things Foundation and Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown to answer your calls and questions.
