Helen’s lucky €5,000 ‘withdrawal’

A lucky Drogheda woman has scooped a €5,000 cash prize in the Bank of Ireland GoalSaver competition.

Helen Govern has been announced as one of five winners of a €5,000 cash prize, having entered a competition open to customers of Bank of Ireland with a GoalSaver account, designed to support those saving regularly towards achieving specific goals.

Following a presentation of the prize-winning cheque at her local Bank of Ireland branch in Drogheda, Helen Govern plans to put her winnings towards her upcoming wedding. Helen and her partner began saving for the occasion with a Bank of Ireland GoalSaver account; “I would put it towards my wedding and honeymoon at the end of the year as at the moment all our disposable income is going towards saving for a mortgage.”

Kathy Raftery, Product Specialist, Bank of Ireland Investment Markets said, “The GoalSaver account was launched last year and is one of our most popular with customers saving for a specific goal in mind. We are thrilled to give five lucky winners a boost to their savings goal this month. As part of the GoalSaver account, customers are encouraged to calculate how much they need to save each month to reach their savings goal, whether it is that a new car, further education, or in Helen’s case, a dream wedding.”

GoalSaver facilitates monthly savings from €20-€2,000 and customers can avail of a useful online calculator which tells customers how much they need to save towards their target objective. Customers can set up an account online and pay their direct debit from any ROI current account.
