Sparen of beleggen voor je kind? Wat je moet weten

Providing financial security for your child’s future can make a real difference as they step into adulthood. Whether through saving or investing, there are options to help you build a stable foundation. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of both approaches and how bunq can support your goals.

Saving: a safe choice

Opening a savings account for your child is an easy, secure way to build up a fund for their future. With a bunq Savings Account, you can grow your savings with up to 2.01% interest, setting aside money for milestones like education, a first car, or simply a rainy day. Plus, bunq lets you set up dedicated accounts for each goal—keeping things organized and straightforward.

To make saving together even easier, you can set up a Joint Savings Account directly from your bunq account. This way, you and your child can work toward shared goals and start their financial journey together, all in one secure place.

Investing: potential for higher returns

With bunq’s Stocks feature, you can start investing with as little as €10, without the need for complex trading apps or confusing jargon. The bunq app keeps everything in one place, so you can easily track how your stocks are performing.

The advantage of investing is its potential for higher long-term gains compared to saving. The trade-off, however, is that returns aren’t guaranteed.

What suits you?

The choice between saving and investing depends on your personal situation and preferences.  You might even choose a mix of both, saving part of the funds and investing the rest. The bunq app makes it simple to set up both a savings account and trade stocks so you can get started in no time.

Working towards the future with bunq

Whether you choose to save, invest, or a bit of both, bunq makes it easy to manage your child's finances. With features like multiple bank accounts and Stocks, you can work alongside your child toward their goals. Open a bunq account today to discover all the benefits of bunq.
