Money talk

Open up about the spending woes or savings worries to your friends and family.

Alignment with goals

Make sure your spending supports your broader life goals and values.

Differentiate wants and needs

Exercise self-discipline by knowing the difference between things you need and what you want.

Reflection

Regularly think about your spending patterns and adjust them as needed.



Track your spending, use our app.

To help you with mindful spending, we have created a tool that lets you look at your daily, monthly, and yearly spending in greater detail. It’s called Mi365 and you can find it in your Bank of Ireland mobile app. It’s important to note you must have a Bank of Ireland current account to use this feature1.

 Mi365 highlights spending patterns, such as rent or groceries versus clothes shopping or nights out, making it easier to manage your money.
 It also helps you track your accounts, bills, and subscriptions, so you always know where you stand.
