Saving and investing
Whether it’s being prepared for life’s challenges or reaching your financial goals, savings can assist to make things happen.
Despite tough economic conditions, you don’t have to give up your dreams of financial stability, quality education, a well-earned holiday or an emergency fund. The secret to successful investing is to start small. 
You can always increase the amount you invest. However, the key is to simply start… the sooner the better.
Did you know that AVBOB offers 5-year and 10-year investment accounts that let you save from as little as R250 per month? Over and above the interest that you will receive, you will also be eligible to get bonuses and other benefits that come with the investment plan.
