Managing your money

Managing your money can be challenging, especially when you lead a busy life.

The following tips may help:
  • Be aware of the balance of your account. If you are unsure, check your balance at any AutoBank, by telephone, cellphone or through the Internet. You can also draw a statement at any AutoPlus machine or through Internet Banking.

  • Draw up a budget and a schedule of regular payments and then see how much you can afford to spend on entertainment and luxuries.

  • Arrange for your stop orders and debit orders to be paid at the most convenient time for you. Preferably just after your salary is received, but allow a day or two in case your salary is late.

  • Where possible use our electronic banking services (AutoBanks, Internet, telephone and cellphone banking), as these are cheaper than branch-based services.

  • Make surplus funds work for you by investing them in higher interest earning accounts such as PureSave, PlusPlan, MarketLink and call, notice and fixed deposits.
