Common Banking Mistakes

Newcomers Make (And How to Avoid Them)

❌ 1. Not Asking About Fees

Some accounts have monthly fees. Ask:

  • How can I avoid fees?

  • Is there a free newcomer plan?

❌ 2. Spending Too Much on Credit

Credit is not free money. Only spend what you can pay back.

❌ 3. Ignoring Bank Messages

Read emails and letters from your bank. They often talk about:

  • Fees

  • Changes

  • Important updates

❌ 4. Not Tracking Your Money

Even a simple note on your phone helps:

  • What you spend

  • What you earn

  • What you need to save

💡 Small Reminder

You don’t need to be perfect with money. Just be careful and consistent
