What are your top tips for managing your money this Christmas?🎄 We headed to Birmingham's Christmas market to ask people how they keep track of what they're spending over the festive period. Find out what they had to say in this video. And because it's Christmas, we've thrown in some extra tips from us below! 1. Review existing payments: Make use of any spending insights your banking app provides to see what you can cut back on. 2. Check if you can earn rewards on purchases: Some banks, like Lloyds, offer rewards like cashback each time you use your credit or debit card. 3. Seek support: If you need help, don't delay asking. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can get your finances on track.

With our charity partner Crisis, we're calling for the UK to build 1 million more homes for social rent by 2033.
