As the deposit market becomes more sophisticated, these two new products offer customers additional choice for both regular savings and lump sum deposits. Speaking about the new products, Mark Kelly, Marketing Manager for Savings, Bank of Ireland said “Bank of Ireland has a full suite of deposit products to suit every type of savings need. Our Dualsaver product is ideal for customers that have a specific savings goal in mind. It provides customers with the convenience of a single account and solid returns for both regular and lump sum saving. The 18 Month Reward Account will suit customers that are happy to trade access flexibility for a solid rate return of 4% over 18 months. As European interest rates continue to drop, both of these accounts offer real value to customers at a time when saving has become a priority.”

Bank of Ireland has experienced savings & investment advisors in each of its 280 branches nationwide. For more information on both of these products drop into your local branch, call 1890 365 254 or visit www.bankofireland.ie
