Get on top of financial admin

Two-thirds (68%) of us don’t feel on top of all our financial admin, a survey by HSBC found – and it’s taking a toll on our wellbeing. Some 28% admitted to stress when not on top of their finances.

Of course, having a busy life is usually the given excuse. HSBC partnered with behavioural scientist Professor Nick Chater to help identify how people make better use of their time and reduce the impact of living busy lives.

“We make our lives more manageable by doing the same things in the same circumstances, so we don’t have to think over every single decision,” says Chater. “If you make banking a habit that you don’t need to think too much about, you are much more likely to get a lot more done, and in a shorter space of time.”
