Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change. -
Savings offer steady growth and you can earn variable or fixed interest on the money you put aside. The general rule is to have three months’ worth of living expenses saved up in an instant access savings account so you can cover unexpected costs.
Investments can be another way to help your money grow. We have a range of investments products for you to choose from.
Please remember that the value of all investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invest. If you’re not sure about investing, seek financial advice. Tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and may be subject to change.
