When you apply for credit, reputable lenders will request to run an affordability check.

What is an affordability check? 💷

An affordability check gives the lender a secure, read-only view of your bank statements. This helps them to understand your finances and whether the loan repayments are affordable for you.

This process is sometimes referred to as 'Open Banking'.

Here's to the folks working hard to keep the momentum going on driving greater inclusion of women at work (and beyond).

Jenny Garrett is making waves to help further inclusion, equity and diversity for women. Her article '37 Ways to Embrace Equity this International Women’s Day' is a valuable read.

Some key takeaways from this, for us, have been:

👭 Flip it. Have you heard a woman being referred to as a ‘working mum’? I am guessing that the answer is yes, but how often do you hear men referred to as a ‘working dad?’ If it can’t be flipped don’t say it. See parody Twitter account to highlight the double standards and bias that exists in society.

👭 Support women online. Women and those from Black and minoritised backgrounds experience disproportionate levels of online abuse.

👭 Listen. Ask women about their experiences and obstacles they face and act on their recommendations.

👭 Flexibility. Create the ability for ALL roles [at work] to be part-time and role model it from the top.

👭 Start at home. Who does the housework, the lion’s share of the caring and household admin? Have you got the balance right and what is this balance role modelling to others?

Check out Jenny's book 'Equality Vs Equity'.

Those infatuation butterflies are fluttering all up in your tummy. You're picking playlists that leave you dreaming about where this could go. You're glowing, pal. This feeling's so good that you've brushed off a romance scam red flag, or three.

Late last year, serial romance fraudster, Emmanuel Scotts scammed over £324,000 from four victims in an investment scam. Chances are that something like this won't happen to you, but it's wise to know the signs of a romance fraudster if you're in the dating game.
