Eloise CASH Accounts
Caymanian Account for Skills and Homeownership (CASH), a financial head start for every eligible Caymanian child.
Built on a simple belief: when effort is matched with capital, opportunity becomes ownership.
In Honour Of
The story behind the name
Named in honour of Ms Eloise Seymour, a Caymanian taxi driver for 45 years who saved every penny she could and believed hard work should be matched with opportunity. When capital was scarce, she pledged her home and her savings to unlock opportunity for her son. The CASH programme carries that same principle forward for the next generation of Caymanians.
- Save early
- Invest patiently
- Match effort with capital
- Build something lasting
Overview
A financial head start, from day one.
ELOISE CASH gives every eligible Caymanian child a financial head start, beginning with a CI$1,000 investment at birth, disciplined long-term investing, and the ability to use that capital for education, skills, homeownership, and entrepreneurship.
