What are Jars and how do I use them?

Jars are for money you want to set aside and keep separate from your balances. You can’t spend it with your debit card, and you can’t send it or use it to pay Direct Debits.

Use Jars for:

• saving up for a holiday or big purchase

• storing money you want to send in another currency

• planning for bills or other future expenses

• setting aside money for a rainy day

• investing your money as Interest or Stocks
