Types of Child Savings Account

Junior ISA

A tax-efficient savings vehicle which allows you to save up to £4,260 for the 2018/19 tax year. The account is for the benefit of the child and therefore held in the name of the child, and all cash and investments belong to them. Normally you cannot access the funds until the child is 18 except in the case of death or terminal illness.

First Steps Investment Dealing Account

There are no investment limits on a First Steps IDA, but no tax advantages either. You control when the Child gets access to the investments.

Child SIPP

This is a tax-advantaged way to save for your child's later life. You can invest up to £3,600 this tax year (you pay £2,880 and we claim £720 tax relief for you). Your child has control over the account from the age of 18 but can't access their savings until later in life. There is also no Capital Gains tax or Income tax.

IMPORTANT! Read the Investment Dealing Account Product Guide and our Charges Guide for all the details and before you make up your mind if our Investment Dealing Account is right for you.
