Recognized for its high-integrity service, client-centred education programs and its role as the exclusive provider of the Orderly Payment of Debts (OPD) program on behalf of the Government of Alberta, Money Mentors continues to set the standard for financial wellness and debt relief counselling in the region.

Founded in 1997, Money Mentors has provided free, unbiased financial counselling, coaching and education to individuals and families across Alberta.

Clients consistently praise the agency’s compassionate, professional support and its ability to personalize solutions to each individual’s circumstances.

Non-Profit Integrity and Government Collaboration

As the exclusive provider of the OPD program on behalf of the Government of Alberta, Money Mentors has demonstrated the highest level of accountability and professionalism in debt-management services. Their non-profit status ensures that the advice provided is unbiased, focused on client well-being over profit, and structured to deliver real results rather than quick fixes.
