  • You may have borrowing across a range of products such as mortgages, arranged overdrafts, loans, store cards and credit cards. So it’s important to regularly review your finances to make sure you’re managing your money as effectively as possible. 

    1. Combining borrowing to reduce monthly payments or the amount you pay overall

    If you have a few borrowing products like store cards, credit cards, personal loans or arranged overdrafts, it may help to combine them into a single product with a single monthly payment. This could help you budget as you won’t need to worry about multiple payments and could reduce the amount you pay each month.

    However, it’s important to understand how much interest you pay in relation to each as whilst combining all borrowing into one or extending a product term can sometimes reduce how much you pay each month, you could still end up paying more interest overall. That’s why it’s important to understand if any of these options are right for you.

    Balance Transfer 

    • If you have multiple credit cards, it may help to keep all your credit balances in one place and transfer high interest balances to a card with a lower rate. There may be a fee to transfer. Find out more about balance transfers and how to balance transfer credit cards

    Debt Consolidation/ Additional borrowing 

    • Consolidating your debt under one loan may help as unlike a store card, credit card or arranged overdraft, a loan gives you a clear date when your borrowing will be paid off by. 
    • If you have larger borrowing needs to consolidate, you might be able to apply for additional borrowing on your mortgage with us. This means one monthly payment and a clear date of when your borrowing will be paid off. Information about additional borrowing

    2. Changing the term of your mortgage to reduce your monthly payment or pay off faster to reduce the interest you pay overall 

    You can ask to change the mortgage term from what we originally agreed with you if: 

    • You can afford to pay more and you’d like to pay off your mortgage sooner, reducing the interest you pay over the life of your mortgage. If you’re in a fixed term mortgage there may be early repayment charges, so you’ll need to consider this when choosing the best option for you. 
    • You want to reduce your monthly payments by extending your mortgage term. You’ll need to get our agreement to do this. Extending your mortgage term can reduce your monthly cost but repaying your mortgage over a longer period will increase the amount of interest you pay overall. Find out more about how you can manage your mortgage

    3. Switching to a new mortgage deal with a lower interest rate, to reduce the monthly amount you pay 

    You may be able to switch to a cheaper deal by applying for a Mortgage Product Transfer, early repayment charges may apply. Full details can be found on our switching deals page. 

    You could lose your home if you don’t keep up your mortgage repayments.

Stay connected and stay safe online

  • Your money is safe in your account. We’ll never call, text or email to tell you to move money to another account or ask for your banking details.

    Fraudsters are using coronavirus to try out new scams. One of the things they’re doing is sending emails and texts that claim to be from the NHS. They may offer the chance to sign up for the vaccine and want you to click on a link. The page may look real but it’s a copy to try to scam you into giving your details. Remember, the vaccine is free and the NHS will never ask for a payment or for your banking details. 

    Here's how to protect yourself: 

    • Hang up the phone – Fraudsters can pretend to be your bank or other companies you trust. We’ll never call from the number on the back of your card. If you’re not sure who’s calling, hang up.
    • Make sure it’s genuine – Even if you know who sent a message, be careful with one that arrives out of the blue. Check that it’s genuine before you reply. Call the sender on a number you trust, not one from an email or text. 
    • Click with care – Only click on a link in a message if you know it's safe and trust the sender. We’ll never send you a link to log on or to ask you to give your personal or banking details. 

    A few more tips to help you stay safe from scams: 

    • Protect your devices – Update all your devices as soon as updates are available. Know where your device is at all times and lock it when it’s not in use. 
    • Protect your passwords – Create a new, strong password for every account you use. It’s best to choose three random words and add numbers or special characters to make it hard to guess. And keep it private. 
    • Share with care – Take care with what you share on social media. Always keep your personal and banking details private.

    Be ready for changes when you shop online 

    We’re adding an extra security step when you shop online, to check and make sure it's really you. 

    We can check by texting a passcode to your mobile, calling your landline or you can use our Mobile Banking app. Make sure you’ve given us your latest phone numbers so we can contact you, or your transaction will be refused. To find out more, see our support page for changes to shopping and banking online.
