Introduction

Got to have that ipod... or those designer jeans? What about that mobile phone?

Why is saving important?

Savings allow a person or business to buy more expensive items that cannot be afforded in the short-term, for example, an individual could use savings to pay for annual car insurance, a holiday or a wedding.

How do you save?

What is the best savings account for me?

Savings for short-term or emergency goals, e.g. rent or car repairs need to be accessible, and are therefore usually kept in an account available at a branch of the bank with at-call access by ATM or EFTPOS.

Why do we need to be financially aware?

Acquiring and using money wisely is not something we automatically know how to do.

How to become financially aware

With any financial agreement there is a contract between two or more parties which is legally enforceable.

Conclusion

Suncorp's Banking Division covers both consumer and business banking, predominately for small to medium-sized businesses.
