Another way to save money during Holy Week is to avoid fees and charges associated with your financial transactions. For example, using an out-of-network ATM or overdrawing your account can result in hefty fees and charges that can add up quickly.  

 
To avoid these, use your bank's network of ATMs and withdraw cash and process transactions ahead of time. Check your bank’s social media pages too for advisories about downtimes during the long weekend.  

Holy Week is a good time to start planning ahead for future expenses. Whether you're saving for a vacation, planning to buy a new car, or investing in your retirement, it is important to have a clear financial plan that aligns with your goals and priorities. You can use digital tools like investment apps, retirement calculators, and savings trackers to stay on track and achieve your financial goals over time.

If you plan to do online bank transactions during the long weekend, make sure to use a secure and updated device and avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi networks. Don’t open your online bank accounts in public spaces to prevent the risk of someone eavesdropping on your private information.

 
Finally, monitor your accounts regularly and report any suspicious activity immediately. By following these steps, you can ensure that your online banking transactions during your Holy Week are secure, allowing you to enjoy your trip with peace of mind.

Digital banking apps are a convenient and secure way to manage your finances on-the-go. Most all-digital banks, like CIMB Bank, allow you to check your account balance, transfer funds, and pay bills, straight from your mobile phone. This can be especially helpful during Holy Week when going to a physical bank to manage your funds is actually impossible.  

 
By following the tips above, you can stay financially organized and enjoy a worry-free Holy Week.
