How do I start saving and investing my money?

Saving and investing money in Ireland is a prudent step toward financial stability and future growth. Whether you have a lump sum to invest or are considering regular savings, it’s important to understand the country’s legal and regulatory landscape governing financial activities.

For individuals with a lump sum, investing in diverse assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can offer opportunities for growth over time. In Ireland, investors should familiarize themselves with regulations enforced by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI), which oversees financial institutions and securities markets to ensure investor protection and market stability.

Regular savings accounts are a common option for building emergency funds or saving for short-term goals. In Ireland, savings accounts offered by banks and credit unions are regulated by the Central Bank, which sets standards to safeguard depositors’ funds and ensure fair treatment of consumers.

Furthermore, opening accounts with specific purposes, such as a children’s college fund or retirement account, can provide tax advantages and tailored investment options. For example, the Irish government offers tax-efficient savings vehicles like the Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA) and the Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) grant scheme for higher education expenses.

When considering investment options, it’s essential to conduct thorough research and seek advice from qualified financial advisors who understand the Irish regulatory framework. Additionally, staying informed about changes in tax laws, investment regulations, and consumer protections can help individuals make informed decisions about their financial future.

By adhering to Irish legislation and regulations, individuals can confidently navigate the financial landscape, make informed investment choices, and work toward achieving their long-term financial goals while complying with legal requirements.

Outstanding Support From Start to FinishWe received our mortgage drawdown and keys to our new home on 22nd December 2025, and we honestly couldn’t have reached this milestone without the incredible support of Bernadine from LowQuotes.From the very beginning of our journey, Bernadine went above and beyond. She was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to explain every step clearly — no matter how many questions we had. What truly stood out was how invested she was in our success; this never felt like a transaction, but a genuine partnership.The mortgage process can be overwhelming, but Bernadine made it feel structured, manageable, and even reassuring. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us were exceptional.We are deeply grateful for her dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend Bernadine and LowQuotes to anyone starting their mortgage journey. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will go the extra mile, you’re in the best hands.Thank you for helping us turn a dream into reality.Emmanuel & Dorothy

​As a first-time buyer, buying as a single applicant, I had a million questions, and Niamh McCaul answered every single one with patience and expertise.She went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and confident with my decisions. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to her client's success.​I cannot recommend Niamh highly enough! From our very first phone call, she made the entire mortgage process feel seamless and stress-free. As someone who was quite overwhelmed by the paperwork, Niamh’s ability to explain everything in plain English was a lifesaver.She was always one step ahead, keeping me updated at every turn and securing a fantastic rate. If you want a mortgage advisor who is professional, proactive, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further.Thank you, Niamh, for making my dream home a reality!Shane.

Used low quotes to get a better deal on our life protection and mortgage protection as the banks were a bit unsustainable. Wish I had done this from the start. We had Alan Broderick from the start, he's fantastic at what he does, makes it very human and personal experience. Explained everything without being too jargon-y. He was patient and very helpful with following up with our case. Would highly recommend you give them a call 🙂

In Ireland, savings options considered safe typically include deposit accounts offered by banks and credit unions. These accounts are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and are covered by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme, which protects deposits up to a certain limit per depositor per institution.

Individuals in Ireland can invest in stocks and bonds through brokerage accounts or investment platforms offered by financial institutions. Additionally, there are investment funds such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds. It’s essential to conduct thorough research and consider factors such as risk tolerance, investment objectives, and regulatory considerations before investing.

Tax considerations play a significant role in savings and investments in Ireland. Interest earned on savings accounts is subject to Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT), while investment gains from stocks, bonds, and funds may be subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) or Dividend Withholding Tax (DWT). Tax-efficient savings options, such as pensions (e.g., Personal Retirement Savings Accounts or PRSAs) and designated savings schemes (e.g., Special Savings Incentive Accounts or SSIA), may offer advantages in terms of tax relief or exemptions. It’s advisable to consult with a tax advisor or financial planner to understand the tax implications of different savings and investment strategies.
