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

How interest works

  • You’ll earn 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 (DIRT)

We’re required to deduct Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) from the interest you earn.

  • This is taken automatically before interest is paid

  • We can’t change or refund this ourselves

You can find more information on Revenue’s website.

DIRT exemptions and refunds

Some customers may be eligible for a DIRT exemption.

  • You’ll need to complete the relevant form from Revenue.

  • If you already have a completed form, you can send it to us in chat in the app by tapping here.

  • We’ll review it and apply your exemption going forward

  • Any refunds are handled directly by Revenue
