- Log into mobile or internet banking and select transaction you want to pay on instalment plan
- Choose 3, 6, 9 or 12-month plan to pay your bill
Be card wise
Card safety
- Sign the back of your card as soon as you receive it.
- Never allow anyone to use your card or PIN
- Never let your card out of your sight when paying.
- Never write your PIN down – memorise it and destroy your PIN mailer immediately.
- You will receive a one-time password when you make an online purchase.
Credit sense
- Be committed to paying all your monthly financial obligations, including credit cards.
- Only apply for additional loans if you know you can afford the monthly repayments.
- Track your financial standing by creating a monthly budget detailing your monthly income and expenditure.
- Use your budget to identify areas where you can reduce spending.
- Determine your net worth using the calculation: Total assets – Total liabilities = Net worth.
Total assets: Combine all your money from your savings or cheque accounts, trust funds, property value, car value, stock value, etc.
Total liabilities: Combine all your debts such as home mortgage, credit card balance. - Your goal is to have a positive net worth value at all times and it should be increasing as time goes by.
