Whether you’ve got big plans or simply want to pay less interest, getting into good habits is a great way to manage your finances.

list item Pay less interest - Saving on interest can be easier than you think when you pay back more than the minimum payment. So if you can afford to pay a little extra in addition to your minimum amount each month it’s a good idea to do so as it will help clear your balance a lot quicker.
 
 
 
list item Make life easier - You could set up a Direct Debit for straight after payday so that your minimum payment is always covered, and you avoid any unnecessary missed payments. Leaving you with one less thing to think about.

  When abroad, paying with your credit or debit card is cheaper than withdrawing cash at an ATM. You could have up to 56 days interest-free on things you buy whilst you’re away, provided you pay in full and on time. And, purchases on your credit card over £100 and up to £30,000 are protected under the Consumer Credit Act in case anything goes wrong.
