Want to invest for your child's education?
You’ve come to the right place. We don’t only aim to make saving for your child’s education easy and flexible, we also want to see your kid get the best education under the sun. Whether you want to save for yourself or for your child, we have education savings plans designed for your education needs. Never struggle to cover the cost of uniforms, sports gear, music lessons and for some, extra maths and science lessons. It’s never too early or too late to start, let us help you plan for those education costs.

Do you know why having a saving plan for education is important?
The examples set out in the table below show the estimated future cost of a university degree. The best time for education planning is around the time your child is born. That way, you have lots of years ahead of you to save money in an education plan. If you didn’t start saving for education when your child was born, then the next best time to start is now.
