It is just a way of putting money by - though many of us do gain interest by putting it directly into our own personal savings accounts.

It does not matter where you save it. Mine goes into a savings account which does earn interest. I include the interest in the amount saved. Obviously some do it in cash in a jar or tin which will not earn interest.pgs314 said:Is it the case that there is no interest gained from this investment?
