In February 2001, the Government announced details of an exciting new savings scheme to encourage you to save more by offering a 25% bonus on regular savings.

The new Government (SSIA) Savings Scheme gives savers the opportunity to build up a nest egg with total security and exceptional returns.

In a nutshell, the Scheme works like this:

From 1st May 2001, for every £10 you save each month in a five year Special Savings Incentive Account, the Government will deposit a £2.50 bonus into your account.

When you combine this bonus with the attractive rate of interest you can expect to receive from Anglo Irish Bank you will see that this is the best savings plan that has ever been made available to Irish savers.
