Welcome to the tastiest day of the year, fellow enthusiasts — it’s French Fries Day! Whether you call them chips, fries, or frites (like the French do), today, you have the perfect excuse to indulge in some crispy, golden goodness to satisfy your cravings! But first, a side note — as long as we’re on the topic of things getting fried, let’s take a moment to remember to keep our brains from doing so when worrying about finances. How? Via the easy approach of your personal-finance friend, BankBazaar of course! Just like your favourite fries, managing finances should be simple, satisfying, and a little bit of fun. Grab your fries, and let’s dive in!
Before we get into the juicy details of how we can help you manage your everyday finances, let’s take a moment to appreciate the star of the show: French fries. Did you know that despite the name, French fries might actually have Belgian origins? Legend has it that the village-people in Belgium would fry small fish, but when the rivers froze over, they turned to frying potatoes instead. Voila! The French fry was born. Whether they’re from France, Belgium, or your local fast-food joint, there’s no denying the universal love for these crispy delights today.

That’s where we come in to make sure your financial journey is always as enjoyable as munching on a basket of fries.

Get Your Credit Score Cookin’
Think of your Credit Score as the seasoning on your fries. Without the right seasoning, even the best fries can fall flat. Similarly, without a good Credit Score, your financial options might be limited. You might end up missing the great Credit Card or loan offers out there. To make sure that does not happen, we’re here to help you keep track of your Credit Score and understand how it affects your financial health.
a) Free Credit Score Checks: Just like how tasting a fry can be the deciding factor of whether or not you’re going to be licking that basket clean, checking your Credit Score (at least once a month) can be just as crucial. TIP: You can do your regular Credit Score checks with us for FREE to help you stay informed about your financial standing.
b) Credit Improvement Tips: Sometimes just like fries need a little extra salt to live up to its full potential, your Credit Score could also need a little boost from time to time. When you check your score, month-on-month, you can see personalised tips to help you improve/keep your score soaring high so unlocking the best financial opportunities are always at your fingertips.
c) Regular Updates: Much like you wouldn’t want stale or cold fries, you wouldn’t want outdated credit information or something worse, like suspicious activity, or a grave error sitting on your credit report. TIP: Keep yourself updated with regular checks and get the latest insights from Experian, so you’re always in the know.
