Our mother is not just our first bank in the financial sense—she is, in every way, the foundation of our emotional and practical lives. She is the silent architect of the household budget, often stretching limited resources to ensure that we have everything we need: from food and clothing to school supplies and small treats that brighten our days. When we ask for money as children, she rarely says no, even if it means sacrificing her own desires. She is our first and most important teacher, guiding us through the essential lessons of saving, spending wisely, and appreciating the value of what we have. In times of uncertainty and hardship, it is her strength and wisdom that we turn to—not just for financial support, but for emotional resilience and guidance. The love, sacrifices, and unwavering support she provides form the bedrock upon which we build our future. Our mothers are not only our first bank; they are the most reliable, compassionate, and enduring pillars of support we will ever know.
And that is why this year The Daily Star and United Commercial Bank PLC brings you My Mother, My First Bank campaign, where there is a bit everything whether it be life long lessons, emotions and the unwavering support from mother. This year celebrate Mother's Day by telling us your savings lessons story that you have with your mother.
