Spotlight – January edition

Welcome to the January edition of Spotlight.

As we all return to normality after the holidays – and repair our budgets after an expensive time of year – we look at some smart ways getting the kids back to school can be managed financially. While we’re focused on kids, we also look at how parents can start having money conversations with their children, from pocket money through to earning it and saving for a special something.

We also know that interest rates continue to be a topic of conversation for our members both on the clock and around the barbeque. We have a piece this month on how you can housekeep your home loan to make it work for you as much as it can. And if you – like many Australians – locked their fixed rates a couple of years ago and have your fixed rate period maturing this year, please know we’re here to help you navigate through the new, higher, interest rates. To do that, we’ve set our three-year home loan rate as one of the lowest in the country. Just give us a call.And finally, we have recently been awarded Mozo’s 2023 Experts Choice Award for Best Unsecured Personal Loan. We’ve included a piece on just why a loan is considered market leading, so you can understand why we continue to receive national recognition for our competitive product suite.

All the best for 2023. We will continue to build the bank that services you best, starting with a new website that will be live in the coming weeks. Watch this space!
