Christmas Savers

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Star saving today and take the stress out of Christmas

Christmas can be expensive and a stressful time of year, but a little pre-planning can make a huge difference. Our Christmas Savings Account is created to help you get the costs of Christmas wrapped up. Saving now can take the stress out of Christmas, giving you more time to spend with your loved ones.

It’s difficult to pay for Christmas out of December’s pay packet alone, so it makes sense to save up as much as you can beforehand.

The earlier you start saving, the less you need to put aside each month. Even a small amount over a few months can make a big difference.

With our Christmas Savings account you can save from the 1st of January through to the 1st of October when you have access to transfer or withdraw to spend on making Christmas that extra special.

Remember – If you need to access the savings before the 1st of October you cannot re-open your Christmas savings account until the following January.
