Setting up bills and bank accounts
Bank accounts
We can help you open a basic account or a full current account. We can also help you set up direct debits to pay your bills straight from your bank, which often makes them cheaper.
Gas and electricity bills
We can help find the best gas or electricity deal for you, and we can check if you should be getting cheaper energy.
Low-cost home insurance
My Home Contents Insurance will protect your belongings if your home suffers from a fire or flood, or if you are a victim of crime. It can also reimburse you if you have to pay Staffs Housing because you have lost the keys to your home.
You are free to take out home contents insurance from any provider you choose.
