Save for your child's future
It's always a good idea to build a savings fund for your child. They may want to pursue higher education or obtain their driver's license in the future. This savings fund can help make that possible.
Do you want to lock this money away for a longer period?
You can lock your child's savings for a longer period, making it inaccessible for a set time. This ensures that the savings truly remain in your child's savings fund. Check out our term deposits.
