This is a regular saver account from Halifax... 7.25% pa on amounts up to €200 per month, but the accumulated amount after one year is transferred to an account earning 3%. pa. Up to 2 withdrawals allowed each year.

You can hold up to 10 accounts, but if you have more than 2 you may be required to provide birth certs for the children, and the T&Cs are not clear whether you could be required to provide such proof in other scenarios....

Has anyone opened such an account and have you been asked for proof of having a child?

(I have a child of course... I wouldn't be thinking of opening accounts otherwise...I'm just a very curious type of person ;) )
 
yep

I got one

Single man, no wife and no plans for kids but you never know!

They didnt ask about children, they said you dont need them, you could be saving for the future for them or you could be just saving....
