Junior ISAs - The tax efficient way to save towards your child’s secure financial future.

Junior ISAs are the new tax free savings accounts for children. They have replaced the old Child Trust Fund and are great for saving up a lump sum of money for your child when they become an adult (18 years old).

With
Junior ISAs, the funds are securely locked away and cannot be accessed until the child reaches 18. Once the child reaches 18 they can withdraw the funds or should they decide to keep the funds within the account, it will automatically switch to a regular ISA account and they can continue to enjoy tax free savings on their investment.

Anyone can pay into the account such as friends, grandparents etc and this makes them ideal for Birthdays, Christmas as you can pay in a lump sum should you wish.

There are two different types of Junior ISAs. A Junior Cash ISA and a Junior Stocks and Shares ISA. Each eligible child can hold one of each account but the combined investment allowance must not exceed £3600 per tax year.
