QUIZ: What sort of saver are you?

Everyone takes a different approach to savings. What about you?
13.9k

WE ALL KNOW how important it is to save. It’s not always easy to get started, but once you put the right habits in place and find the right savings account for you, it can make an enormous positive difference to your life.

Still, while there are many savers out there, not everybody necessarily has the same approach to saving. Some people will stick to their habits without exception, while others can be a little more laissez-faire in their approach.

AIB has decades of expertise in providing advice on savings, and you can explore a full range of the bank’s savings accounts here. With Fixed Term Deposit, Notice Deposit and Online Saver Accounts all on offer, AIB can talk you through the best savings solution for you.
