Get support from banks and building societies

Your bank or building society may have a few ways that can support with gambling, so please talk to them to find out how they can help. This may include:

• Blocking debit card payments to gambling retailers, often known as a gambling block. This can often be set up via your banking app.
• Set a spending limit for how much you allow yourself to spend with gambling retailers.
• Temporarily freeze your debit card to stop your spending getting out of control
• Change the amount of money you can withdraw in cash each day, or switch off cash withdrawals altogether.

Please talk to your bank and building society to see how they can help support you if your worried about or struggling to control your gambling.

The Cambridge is a savings and mortgage provider, so we don’t offer current accounts and/or debit cards which are for everyday spending and budgeting.

If you’re concerned about your gambling habits and want to reduce the temptation, then there’s a couple of things we can do to help support this:

• For savings: Open a more restrictive savings account, such as a fixed term ISA or bond, making it more difficult to make withdrawals during the fixed term period.
• For mortgages: If you’re struggling to pay your mortgage, talk to us, we’re to help. Find out more
