What are Prize Bonds?

Prize Bonds

Each Prize Bond purchased is allocated a bond number. Your investment holds its original value and instead of earning interest on your savings, Prize Bonds are entered into a weekly draw with a chance to win cash prizes.

Security

When you save with State Savings you are placing your money directly with the Irish Government. State Savings Prize Bonds savings are 100% protected by the State.

Flexible

Prize Bonds can be held indefinitely with no expiry date. You can cash in your investment fully or partially at any time after the minimum holding period of 90 days and you can have the funds paid directly to your Bank Account within 7 working days. 
Choose to make a once off purchase, regular purchases or set up a monthly Direct Debit.

No fees or charges

No quarterly fees, commissions or transaction charges for any State Savings transactions.

Easy to buy

Prize Bonds are sold in ‘units’ valued at €6.25 each. Choose to buy online, by monthly Direct Debit, in Post Offices, by Post or over the phone. You can invest as little as €25 (4 Prize Bonds) up to maximum €250,000 (40,000 Prize Bonds) per individual or €500,000 (80,000 Prize Bonds) jointly.
