Saving can be a scary topic.

We often don't know where to start, how much to save, how long to save for, or what investment accounts are best suited to our individual or family goals. Most people think the word ‘investment’ is associated with a lot of money. For the average South African, making enough money to pay all the bills and still find even a little to save every month is already a challenge. It can feel overwhelming, but that’s often due to not understanding what an investment is and the different ways to invest. We have one of the best interest rates in the market to help you get the most out of your savings.

Worried about not having enough savings when you retire? You are not alone.
