As a parent it is important to be able to provide for your child. Whether it is for education, a wedding, a house deposit, a first car or to help them fulfil their dreams State Savings has a suitable savings plan for you. The sooner you start saving, the easier it will be to provide for your child as they enter the next exciting phase of their lives.

The Childcare Plus product from State Savings allows you to save your monthly child benefit payment. After twelve months the monthly contributions are invested for a further five years.

If you have a lump sum and wish to save for 3, 5 or 10 years we have a range of fixed term products to suit you. For example, the 10 Year National Solidarity Bond is an ideal way of ensuring that provision has been made for the expensive next steps in your child's life. There are no fees, charges, taxes or commission. Your investment is protected by the Irish State and can be accessed easily with any interest earned when the time comes.

Further information on the 10 Year National Solidarity Bond and all other State Savings products can be found in the Our Products section along with a savings calculator.
