Instant Access Savings Pots: Interest and tax

Instant Access Savings Pots help you grow your money while keeping it easy to access.

  • Your money isn’t locked — you can take it out anytime

  • Eligible deposits are protected under the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) up to €100,000 per person

How interest works

  • You’ll earn variable interest at the rate shown in your app

  • Interest starts from the day you add money

  • It’s paid into your Pot on the 1st of each month

To see how much interest you’ve earned:

  1. Go to the Save tab at the bottom of the app

  2. Tap your Savings Pot

  3. Tap Interest

Tax on interest

We’re required to withhold tax from the interest you earn, in line with local tax rules.

  • This is taken automatically before interest is paid

  • We can’t change or refund this ourselves

  • There are no exemptions for Personal or Joint account customers

Any tax reporting or refund questions should be handled directly with the relevant tax authority.
