    Hi
    I am looking to set up a savings account in the hope of going on the holiday of a lifetime in 3 years time.
    I would be making 3 large deposits and then small amounst at irregular intervals over the 3 years.
    Obviously I would like my savings to gain as much interest as possible for the duration.
    Any advice on any savings accounts out there??
    Would very much appreciate your help.
    Many thanks
    AnnieAli

    Have a read of the best buys here.

    For the 3 large deposits, consider options such as a PTSB 2 year term deposit that pays 2.25%. State Savings will pay 1.32% tax free for 3 years.

    For the small deposits and irregular deposits, consider a PTSB online regular saver account. There is no mandatory min or max per month. There is no term attached. It pays 2.70%. Not the highest rate out there but it is one of the most flexible regular saver products and it might meet your needs.

    Just so that you know, the interest rate on the KBC Smart Access account is going to drop to 1.75% on 25/07/2014.

    The PTSB Online Instant Access account is more flexible and pays 2% AER with no rate change announced.
