Budget, Save, Spend - The CAP course
Want to save for something important? Or just wonder where your money goes?
The CAP course is a revolutionary, free money management course that teaches people skills and a simple cash-based system that really works. The course will help anyone to gain more control over their finances so they can save, give and prevent debt. It is for anyone regardless of age or financial status. It is entirely private - no one else can see your financial data.
St Hilda’s is proud to be able to offer this course, which has benefitted thousands of Kiwi’s, and is also helping people in the UK, Canada, Australia and recently the USA. Our course starts on Monday May 22nd at 7.30pm at St Hilda’s, and continues on the 29th and 12th June. To enrol, go to the CAP website (www.capnz.org), or contact St Hilda’s office officeislandbayanglican@gmail.com. Note: places are limited so don’t leave it until the last moment!
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
