The Rebel Finance School Awards 2026
Unaccredited. Unregulated. Surprisingly prestigious.
You faced something you had been avoiding. You stayed open to learning. You took a step forward. Perhaps you supported another Rebel and helped them feel less alone.
That deserves recognition.
Claim the Rebel Finance School medals you earned, download them and display them with entirely appropriate levels of pride.
Which medals have you earned?
The first three medals are yours to claim. If the description sounds like something you did during Rebel Finance School, congratulations. You earned it.
The Rebel Community Spirit Award works differently. You do not claim that one for yourself. You give it to someone who supported you, encouraged you, answered a question, shared something helpful or made you feel less alone.
The 2026 Rebel Finance School medals
Each award has a transparent PNG that you can add to your own photograph or profile picture, plus a coloured image that is ready to share.
The Derek Memorial Medal for Financial Bravery
For facing something you had been avoiding.
Read why you earned this medal
Opening your banking app can be brave. Looking at your credit-card statement can be brave. Finding the pension statement, adding up the debt or finally working out your complete financial picture can be brave.
Courage does not always look like charging into battle. Sometimes it looks like opening an envelope, looking at the number and deciding you would rather know.
If you faced something you had been avoiding, this medal is yours.

The Order of the Glorious YET
For staying open to learning and refusing to decide “I can’t”.
Read why you earned this medal
Perhaps investing felt impossible. Perhaps pensions made no sense. Perhaps you wondered whether you had left everything too late.
Instead of deciding that you could not do it, you made room for one small and glorious word: YET.
“I don’t understand this yet.” “I haven’t taken that step yet.” “I don’t feel confident yet.”
If you stayed open, kept learning and refused to declare your journey over, welcome to the Order of the Glorious YET.

The Pineapple of Progress
For taking your next step.
Read why you earned this medal
You did not need to transform your entire financial life overnight. You only needed to make progress.
Perhaps you worked out your net worth, checked your investment fees, added up a month of spending, began reducing debt or had an honest conversation about money. Perhaps your next step was simply attending, listening and allowing the ideas to sink in.
Progress counts. Do not compare your pineapple with anybody else’s.
If you moved forward, this pineapple belongs to you.

The Rebel Community Spirit Award
For supporting another Rebel or helping them feel less alone.
Read who deserves this medal
This award is different. You cannot claim it for yourself. You give it to another Rebel.
Give it to someone who answered your question, encouraged you, shared something helpful or said “me too” at exactly the moment you needed to hear it.
You can also give it to someone who asked a question. It takes courage to say, “I don’t understand.” When one person asks, they help everybody else who was silently wondering the same thing.
Download the medal, send it to someone who deserves it and tell them exactly what they did and why it mattered.
Use the PNG on somebody’s photo or send them the ready-to-share JPG.
What can you do with your medal?
Do not let your glorious medal disappear into the Downloads folder beside seventeen bank statements and a takeaway menu.
Use it somewhere that reminds you what you achieved.
The medal is playful. What it represents is real.
Give the Community Spirit Award to someone who deserves it
Think about the people who made Rebel Finance School better for you.
Perhaps someone answered your question, encouraged you to keep going or shared something honest that helped you feel understood. Perhaps they asked the question you were too nervous to ask. Perhaps they simply reminded you that you were not doing this alone.
Download the Rebel Community Spirit Award, send it to them and explain why they deserve it.
The medal will make them smile. Your words will tell them that they made a difference.
Thank you, Jonny!
These glorious medals were designed by the extraordinarily talented Jonny from The Happy Saver.
Jonny took our strange collection of pineapples, financial bravery, glorious YETs and turned them into something Rebels can download, share, print and proudly display.
Thank you, Jonny. We absolutely love them.
