Saving toward a goal you can name, not just setting money aside

Fixed-term savings with a target and a duration, so parents know what they are working toward

Large costs such as a pilgrimage, graduation, or a school trip feel far lighter when spread over months. Goal Savings gives each objective its own target amount and duration, then shows the progress in the parent app — so saving has a direction rather than being money simply left aside.

  • One goal, one target amount, and its own savings duration
  • Progress visible right on the parent app home screen
  • Runs alongside ordinary school savings

What you get

  • A goal with a name

    Not just a balance. Each savings plan carries the name of its objective and its target amount, so parents know exactly what the money is for.

  • A duration that makes the plan real

    Every goal has a timeframe, say twelve months. From that, parents can work out roughly how much to set aside each month.

  • Big costs broken up

    An amount that is heavy in one payment becomes far lighter when gathered from the start of the year, and the school never has to collect it at short notice.

  • Visible every time the app opens

    Progress sits on the home screen rather than buried in a submenu — a gentle reminder that keeps the plan from being forgotten.

FAQ

Questions about Goal Savings

Can the school decide which savings goals are offered?
Yes. The school decides which goals are opened — pilgrimage, graduation, school trips, or other programmes — along with their target amounts and durations.
Can Goal Savings be withdrawn at any time?
Withdrawal terms follow your school's policy for that savings product, since Goal Savings is designed as a fixed-term deposit working toward a single objective.
Can one student have more than one goal?
Yes. Each goal stands on its own with its own target and duration, and they all appear in the parent app.
