The cost of living crisis is the term being used in relation to the sharp increase in cost for things we all need. Whether that’s heating our homes, putting fuel in our cars, right through to the food we buy, the UK has seen a sharp increase in the cost of these items throughout 2022.

Unfortunately wages and benefits are not going up as quickly, so it might get more difficult for people to pay for the things they need, therefore in real terms our money needs to work harder than ever before.

At PremFina, we understand these times can be difficult for some of our customers, which is why we have included some useful tools and guidance on different topics below.
