The parent will create the new target savings account under their existing universal account in the form prescribed CDTS /Child’s name/Child’s Age. For example: CDTS / Wale /5years. The monthly installments will also be debited from this account.
You can contribute any amount to the target saving, however, to earn the Children’s Day Target Savings Bonus at maturity, your monthly installments must be equal or more than your first month contribution.
No, you cannot. To qualify for the CDTS bonus, a monthly deposit of the initial start-up amount must be made. If the monthly contribution of same amount is not received, the CDTS bonus will be reversed and the balance will continue earning interest at 8% p.a compounded monthly.

If you break your Children’s Day Target Savings Account before 6 months, you lose all the contribution from V, also target saving has a minimum of 6 months tenor, so early liquidation will also lead to a surcharge on accrued interest. However, if you break the Children’s Day Target Savings Account after 6 months, you lose only 50% of the contribution from V but the 8% interest will still stand NB: Only complying deposits for the full period will enjoy full benefits.
The 8% interest rate on the Children’s Day Target Savings Account is applicable to the first contribution in addition to the CDTS Bonus.

You can create a CDTS account for as many children as you want.
If you skip a payment before 6 months, then you lose the bonus from V but if you skip a payment after 6 months you only lose 50% of the bonus from V. This does not affect your accrued interest as long as there is no liquidation and pay out from your target saving account.
Once set up, your target saving will be funded from your selected primary universal savings account or your individual current account. Your target savings also generates a unique account number and you can fund this account directly from any bank. To fund from other banks, the account name will also be the name of the primary account holder. You can set up direct debits from other banks to this account.
