Redundancy can be a life changing and stressful time. But it can also bring you new opportunities.

Whether you’re looking for advice to stay in control of your money, or for support in taking that next step – we’re by your side.

Get help to manage your money

If you need help with reorganising your finances, you can arrange a personal review with one of our Banking Consultants.

They can help you identify ways to make the most of your money, reduce your discretionary spend and create lifelong financial habits to support you now and in the future. We’ll review your account together; it’s a free 1-hour session that you can arrange at a branch near you.

We also have tips and tools to help you get a clear picture of your finances. This may help you to prioritise your bills and work out what you can afford to spend, or how much you could save. 

Managing your money

Get support with money worries

If you’ve been made redundant, it’s a good idea to get in touch with your creditors, even if you’re up to date with your payments. Let them know you’ve been made redundant. They may be able to help.

It is also worth you checking to see whether you have any Payment Protect Insurance (PPI). It's insurance that pays out a sum of money to help you cover repayments on your loan, credit card, or mortgage (product) in certain life events. If you have cover, it may help you if you’ve been made redundant. Please bare in mind that this information is only a guide to what benefit you may be able to claim. All claims are assessed, based on your current policy terms and conditions.

If you're struggling to manage your payments or are worried about covering the essentials, you are not alone. We’re here to support you.

Money worries

Know your redundancy rights

If you are facing redundancy, your employer must treat you fairly. There is a legal redundancy process that they must follow. MoneyHelper is an independent organisation that can guide you through the process.

Understanding your rights

Look after your mental health

At times of change, it is important to look after yourself. If you are struggling with your mental health, it may make it harder to face managing your money. We can help you and are by your side.
