Types of savings accounts

You are thinking about opening a savings account. Maybe you want to set a certain amount aside each month. Perhaps money is available from your employee savings account, or maybe you have received an inheritance, a Christmas bonus or your holiday allowance. You can use the money to save for a particular purpose, or as insurance against unexpected expenditure.

There are many different ways to save. You should therefore ask yourself a number of questions:

  1. When will I need the money?
  2. What am I saving for?

A number of different types of savings accounts are explained in the menu.
