Your New Baby
We're here to support you through this life-changing time.
Becoming a parent can be wonderful and bringing up a child may be one of the most rewarding experiences
you'll ever have. One thing that it definitely does bring though is the need for some changes.
You may decide to move to a larger home or perhaps you'll decide to work from home or give up work to
look after your child. You may want to plan ahead for your financial security and plan for your
child's future too.
With so many changes going on, this could be the perfect time to arrange a free, 'Your Financial Goal' session.
This is an informal meeting with a Banking Consultant at the Bank.
It will give you the opportunity to see whether the account and services you use at present are
still appropriate for your changing needs and find out about any new products and services that could
help you make more of your money, save money or make your life easier.
The New Arrival
Having a baby will have immediate effects on the money you spend, the free time you have, and the
amount of sleep you get. While we can't help you with the sleep, we can offer you help with the other two.
You may want to use our touchtone phone banking service or register
for Online Banking for 24 hour, 365 day access to your accounts.
To help keep your finances in order, we also have a range of calculators
to work out what your repayments could be on the home loan for the larger house, credit card repayments or your
household budget.
Looking after your Future
Now that you have another person to look after, it's a good idea to start thinking about the future security
of your family. You will need to review your life insurance
cover, your retirement savings and get in contact with a
solicitor in regards to a will.
We have a Retirement Savings calculator to help you work out if
your current arrangements will cover your family in unexpected circumstances.
One of the key concerns many parents have when thinking about their child's future is their education.
As the costs of this steadily increase (not only the course fees, but also the cost of living while studying)
it may be prudent to start thinking about saving for this early.
As your child grows up, they may want to handle their own money and savings.
That is why we have School Plus.
You can start the account in your own name, and then, when your child is
old enough, they can become a signatory on the account. School Plus has
been especially designed to encourage your child's savings, and the bank
fees normally charged for monthly account maintenance and transactions
are waived.
