Prize Bonds & Savings Rates Jump | Dublin News

Starting August 30th, prize bonds are getting a major boost: weekly top prizes double to €100,000, new €50,000 weekly prizes added, and all other weekly prizes jump to €100. The variable rate climbs to 1.5%, fueling more and bigger prizes—all tax-free. Savings accounts at the post office also see a rate hike to 1.25%, though taxed. Long-term bonds? Even better: ten-year rates soar from 0.65% to 2.66%. Officials say these moves are designed to encourage safe, smart saving—and benefit the nation’s finances in the long run.
