Why a savings account makes a great gift
  

Responsibility

If you are genuinely invested in the welfare of your offspring or a younger sibling, the best way to introduce them to financial responsibility is by opening a savings account for them. This will be their entry into the world of finance and will also serve to teach them accountability and their future planning ability. 

Security

The future is uncertain. But it can be made a little more predictable by timely investments and future planning. To kick-start this, one can open a savings account. With the growing uncertainty of our times, this is the best possible way to safeguard the future of your loved ones. 

Fiscal discipline

A savings account is the best gift of all! Savings are essential, and even a young person can accumulate a large amount by simply saving all the money they get on festivals and holidays from loving adults. This inculcates the habit of savings while also teaching them the value of money. 

A gift that endures

Sweets are great but temporary, and clothes quickly go out of fashion. But the gift of a savings account lasts a lifetime. Open a savings account for a loved one, and they will remember your gift for as long as the account remains active – which may well be their entire lifetime!
