Women are better at putting their cash into a savings account than men are, new research suggests.
Conducted by Abbey, the latest findings into the savings habits of the UK population have found that 52 per cent of savings accounts are taken out by women.
Furthermore, Abbey has recorded that 58.4 per cent of its savings products are owned by women, although men have on average £100 more in their savings accounts than females.
Head of savings and investments at Abbey Reza Attar-Zadeh notes that the firm's Super range is encouraging men and women alike to save.
"We believe that it is important that as many as possible start saving early for their future and as tax efficiently as possible," he remarks.
Abbey is to launch a major campaign for their Super savings products, which is strengthened by the news that the organisation is to support a 50 per cent growth plan for investors who do not want to risk capital while gaining some exposure in the stock market .
A spokesperson from St Edmundsbury Financial Services states that those struggling to save should budget and look to set up a direct debit or savings plan.
