Our latest podcast features special guest Sonie Mansaray talking us through her journey into retail banking and the low-down on credit and credit cards.
Sonie spent 8 months working at one of the country's most profitable monoline credit card businesses. In this episode she busts down the myths and misconceptions surrounding credit and advises young people on how to strategize and build their credit scores.
We also discuss the transition from higher education to full-time work and Sonie reflects on her experience of moving from London to Chester as part of her graduate scheme.
