What is a Tax Free Savings Account?

It’s like the name says. The Old Mutual Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) lets you grow your money without paying tax on the growth of your investment (capital gains), the interest or dividends. Simply decide on how much you want to save and how often. Then let your money make more money. The longer you leave it, the more it grows. And when you’re ready, access your money. No tax payable.
What are you saving for?

From weddings to birthday milestone celebrations and big life events, it's never too early to start investing in your or your children's future.

If you save R800/month*, in less than 8 years, you could put over R150 000 towards that future big day.

It’s never too early to start saving and having a bit more in your budget could get you the car you’ve always wanted.

Saving R1300/month* could get you there in 8 years. But if you manage to save R1600/month, you could get there in 7 years.
