Question of Finance: What is the best account for my young children?

Q: I have a 20-month-old daughter and another baby due at the end of April.

I would like to set up savings accounts for both of them and I wondered whether you would recommend a particular bank?

Alternatively, would I be better off going for a post office or a credit union account?

A: I have two girls (nine and six) and I have two AIB Parent Saver accounts. These accounts pay 5pc, but for a year only and there is a €200 monthly maximum you can put into each. After a year, the money is transferred into a parent deposit account paying 0.5pc.
