Whether it's for day-to-day transactions, paying bills, receiving your wages, or saving for something special, it’s important to equip yourself with banking knowledge. Our guides help you to understand financial jargon, and gain a better understanding of financial services.
Understanding banking jargon and abbreviations
The abbreviations and acronyms on your bank statement can be confusing. That’s why we’ve designed user-friendly guides to AER and APR, as well as recurring payments, continuous payment authorities, and more.
Understanding interest
People often ask “where can I earn the most interest?” and “where is the best place to put my money?” when opening savings accounts. The following guides will help you understand interest rates, why they change, and how you can use interest rates to grow your money.
Ethical banking and wages
As we are becoming more aware of the effect our decisions have on the world around us, it makes sense to ensure our money doesn’t fund practices we think are unethical. In these guides, we explain why ethical banking is worth considering, as well the importance of the minimum wage and ensuring you receive the right amount of pay.
Staying safe online
Online fraud has become so advanced that it can be hard to spot what’s real, and what’s a scam.
Our easy-to-read guides explain how safe your money is with online banking, how to avoid savings account and fixed rate scams, and how to recover your funds if you’ve been the victim of online fraud. We also share handy tips on how to identify phishing emails, spot a legitimate website, and how to create a password that’s safe and secure.
