more MONEY SAVING TIPS
1.
Contactless Payments
Many shops are asking customers to pay by card to avoid spreading the Covid-19 virus. Be careful when making contactless payments, as money can take longer to leave your account than using 'Chip & PIN'. |
2.Check Your Bank Balance
It can be scary to check your bank balance, especially during the current crisis. Check it regularly and make sure to cancel any out-of-date direct debit or standing order payments. |
3.
Mobile Phone
When your mobile phone contract comes to an end, think about how you use it before signing a new contract. A SIM-only or 30 day rolling contract could be much cheaper. |
