According to the Barclays research, 63% of Brits admit they struggle to stay in control of their spending. 39% of them confess in spending on unnecessary products just out of boredom. Some people revealed they have even started keeping their money in the underwear drawers (22%) or even stowing it under the bed (17%).

At the same time, 35% of the people surveyed are aware of the fact that they spend too much on the items when they know they shouldn’t. 23% admit to spending too much money because there’s nothing to stop them. Some Brits (24%) say they feel unsettled if they haven’t gone shopping for a week.

This way, Barclays has collaborated with TV personality – Fearne Cotton to design bespoke illustrations for a selection of lucky Brits, reaching their goals, interests, and motivations. Barclays customers will be able to use the free debit card personalization service, printing their image onto their card as a daily reminder of their actions and goals.

We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to reach their goals. Whether it’s by putting a picture on their debit card that will keep them motivated, or personalising the way they use their card through our app. In our app, customers can access a range of personalised features including setting spending limits and turning on or off categories such as shopping online, pubs, restaurants and much more
