AIB Junior Saver

At AIB we welcome all savers. That's why we have an account especially for children called an AIB Junior Saver Account.

A Savings Start For Children

The AIB Junior Saver Account is open to children under the age of 12 years. Children can choose to save on a regular basis or use the account for putting away occasional gifts of cash from events like a birthday or special occasion. This will help children to learn more about managing their money and get into the habit of saving from an early age. An AIB Junior Saver Account is also a great idea for parents and guardians who want to open a savings account for a child, to make payments into on their behalf.

So how does it work?

• You can save any amount as often as you like.
  
• Withdrawals can be made at any time.
  
• Interest is 1% above AIB's variable demand deposit rate. (View our Deposit Interest Rates in our Related Information section or check the notices displayed in our branches).
  
• Interest is paid every three months.
  
• AIB Junior Saver Account holders are exempt from all account maintenance and transaction fees on their AIB Junior Saver Account. Other service charges may apply. (For details see "A Guide to Fees and Charges for Personal Accounts" below.)
• You will receive an annual statement of account.

Who can lodge to or withdraw money from the account?

Anyone can lodge to the account. Until the child named on the account reaches the age of 7, withdrawals can only be made by the Parent/Guardian of the AIB Junior Saver Account. On reaching the age of 7, this instruction can be changed by the Parent/Guardian to allow the child to withdraw money from the account.

Tax on Interest earned on AIB Junior Saver Account

• We will deduct Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) at the prevailing rate unless you are entitled to an exemption from DIRT, from all interest earned, and we will pay this directly to the Revenue Commissioners(for more information go to www.revenue.ie).
• To the extent that DIRT has been deducted there is no further liability to Irish income tax, but you may be subject to PRSI/Health levy.

Make your money grow as fast as they do with an AIB Parent Saver Plan
