UK Invests for Employees How to Earn Money

After employees participating in UK Invests for Employees successfully open a brokerage account specifically linked to the program, UK will transfer money into that brokerage account in exchange for you taking courses to enhance your professional and financial literacy skills. The money that is transferred will go into a cash account. If you want to invest it, you'll need to take action each time you receive money in your account.

UK wants to help you be successful and develop lifelong financial skills to become more financially independent. We’re rewarding you with transfers into your UK Invests brokerage account when you complete courses to build healthier habits.
