Separation and Divorce

It can be hard when a relationship ends, but we're by your side to make sure you get the support you need with your finances.

Updating your accounts and personal information

Separating your joint accounts

With the agreement of both account holders, we can help you close your joint account. Or, you can request in branch to remove the second person from your account.

Update your joint account

Review additional credit cardholders

Remove additional cardholders from your credit card account to protect you from any unexpected expenses. You can also freeze cards or certain transaction types using the Mobile Banking app, giving you control over how your money is used.

Restrict your card

Update your joint mortgage

Speak to your mortgage lender or seek independent advice to get a joint mortgage transferred to one person or to understand the options available to you.

Make a change to your mortgage

Change your personal details

Your finances are personal and private, so we want to make sure only you continue to receive all correspondence about your accounts. If you change your name or address following your separation, you’ll need to update your account details.

Update your personal details

Review your will, power of attorney and insurance policies

Who you want to make decisions or benefit from your plans may have changed. It’s important to make sure your legal and financial arrangements reflect your current choices and priorities.

Take time to review your will and power of attorney, and update them if needed. You should let your home and life insurance providers know about any changes that could affect your cover or beneficiaries.

Making a will

Financial support if you have children

If you and your former partner can’t agree financial arrangements to support your children, the amount due and who pays for their care will be determined either by the court or more often by the Child Maintenance Service.
