- Banking services
People's cash will continue to be protected if their bank or building society goes bust in the same way as it is now. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) refunds savings of up to £75,000 if your bank, building society or credit union goes under.
- Holidays
Falls to the pound will hit holidaymakers' spending power abroad. Holidaymakers have been advised to watch currency movements very closely.
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said travel insurance products will continue to offer all of the cover that they do at the moment and there will be no immediate change to existing policies.
The BBA has said you will still be able to use cash machines and pay by card when travelling and online and mobile banking will not be affected - although it said roaming charges might change over time so customers are advised to check tariffs with their provider.
- The cost of filling your car
The AA has predicted that fuel prices at the pumps are likely to creep up following falls to the value of the pound.
- The housing market
Housing market experts expect the pace of house price growth to slow down and fewer sales to take place as potential buyers and sellers sit it out while the dust settles.
- Mortgage and savings rates
Homeowners have enjoyed ultra-cheap mortgage rates while the Bank of England base rate has sat at its 0.5% low since March 2009, while savers have seen their returns vanish.
Now, City experts are predicting the base rate could be chopped further, spelling more bad news for savers.
- Pensions
Pension savers have been warned by experts to think carefully and consider taking advice before making any decisions amid the current volatility.
It has also been suggested there may possibly be some changes to the state pension ahead, such as potentially increasing the state pension age more rapidly or getting rid of the ''triple lock'' - a mechanism that guarantees the state pension is increased by a certain amount.
