Get into the habit of regular saving
Saving money can seem like a big mountain to climb for a lot of people. But the good news is you don't have to give up everything you love. Turning savings into an overall habit, day-to-day, is a sure-fire way to success. Whether you're saving for a new car, wedding, holiday or a new home deposit, putting a little money aside each month is a great way to see your savings grow.

By bringing the documents we need with you, you’ll save time and have your new account opened in no time. Whether you are a new or existing EBS customer, to open a new savings account you will be asked to provide:
Personal identification documentation – such as a valid passport or valid driver’s licence, this needs to be an original, not a copy.
Proof of your permanent address – for example, a current utility bill, dated within the last six months (e.g. gas, ESB, landline phone), bank statement, motor or home insurance renewal document. Again, documents need to be originals.
Proof of your PPS number.
The minimum term of the account is one year. At the end of the one-year term, you can withdraw part or all your funds, or continue to save for another one-year term. If you don’t let us know what you’d like to do before each maturity date, these conditions will continue your savings for a further 12-month period at the prevailing rate.
