How to start 2025 with a tidy wallet: From credit and insurance transfers to consolidated credit.

Start the year with organized finances by reviewing your credits and insurances.

Starting the year with finances in order is one of the most common resolutions, and the truth is that it can be the fundamental step in ensuring a more tranquil year from a financial perspective.

The first step to achieve this goal is to organize your wallet and pay attention to options that are often overlooked, such as the possibility of renegotiating/transferring credits and insurance or consolidated credit.

So, better understand the options, then, to start the year in a safer and financially balanced way.

Renegotiate or transfer credits: How to take advantage of the best conditions.

With the passage of time, market conditions change and what was advantageous a few months/years ago may no longer be the best option for your budget. Therefore, renegotiating your credits (whether housing or personal) can be a good strategy to reduce monthly payments or even the interest paid over time.

Renegotiate the credit:  

If you are having difficulty meeting your monthly payments, you can try to renegotiate your credit with your bank. In many cases, banks are willing to offer more flexible conditions, such as extending the payment term or reducing the interest rate, especially if you have a good relationship with the institution and have been meeting your obligations so far.

Transfer credit to another bank:  

If your bank does not offer favorable conditions, you may consider transferring your credit to another financial institution. Credit transfer may result in a lower interest rate, which will translate into savings over time. However, it is important to carefully analyze the conditions offered, as the process may involve associated costs, such as transfer commission and processing fees.

Re-negotiate or transfer insurance: Get the best deals.

Just like credits, insurance can also be a significant expense in your budget. From year to year, insurance conditions and offers can change, so it's worth analyzing your policies and checking if you're not paying more than necessary.

Renegotiate the insurance:  

If you already have insurance, such as health insurance, life insurance or car insurance, it may be a good idea to contact your insurer to renegotiate the conditions. Often, it is possible to reduce monthly premiums, or even improve coverage, without a significant increase in cost. Check if there are any packages or discounts that can be applied.

Transfer insurance policies to another.

If your insurance company does not offer the best conditions, it may be advantageous to research and compare offers from other insurers. Changing life, health, or auto insurance can mean a significant discount, so take some time to research different options in the market. Don't forget to check the reputation of insurers and the conditions of assistance in case of a claim.

3. Consolidated credit: A solution to simplify (and relieve) debts.

If you have multiple credits and feel it's difficult to keep up with all payments, consolidated credit may be the ideal solution. Consolidated credit allows you to combine all your credits into a single loan, with a fixed interest rate and a single monthly installment, usually lower, making financial management easier.

Advantages of consolidated credit:

• Reduction of monthly installments: By consolidating credits, it is possible to reduce the monthly amount to be paid, as the payment term is extended.

• Lowest interest rate: In many cases, when consolidating credit, it is possible to obtain a lower interest rate, which will decrease the total amount paid over time.  

• Simplification of financial management: With a single monthly payment, financial management becomes simpler, allowing you to have a clear view of your financial commitments.

However, it is important to keep in mind that, although consolidated credit can be advantageous, extending the payment term may result in an increase in the total cost of credit. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the conditions offered before making this decision.

Renegotiating or transferring credits and insurance, as well as considering consolidated credit, are effective strategies for reducing expenses and improving your financial health. By making informed decisions and adjusting your financial commitments, you can start the new year with more tranquility and fewer financial concerns.
