Children's savings 

"Great customer service, friendly and helpful. Glad we chose to open a child account with you."

Customer review, Smart Money People.

Funding their dreams starts here. We understand how important it is to give children a head start in life, and opening a children’s savings account could be just the thing to do that.

As a parent, grandparent or guardian you can start saving for that special someone’s future. Or, if you’re a teenager, maybe you want to start saving some money yourself.

Whatever the reason, if you or are aged under 18, or want to put some money aside for a young person, we have accounts that can help you start saving. We offer easy access accounts for young people, and also a Junior ISA which cannot be touched until the child’s 18th birthday.

We accept savings applications from new members or existing members who live in England or Wales.

We went into branch to open a Junior ISA for our baby. Everyone was helpful and friendly and it took about 15 minutes. This account is not available to open online so we went to the branch and the experience was very good with the account being opened with a cash deposit. We didn't have to wait and we received confirmation and details via email the next day. Recommended with high rate of interest vs the alternatives.
