What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

The balance after 12 months on an initial deposit of £1,000 with an interest rate of 4.05% gross / AER (variable) would be £1,040.61.

This estimation is an example only and assumes:

  • There are no additional deposits or withdrawals made;
  • Interest is paid gross and added to the account on on 31 December; and
  • There is no change to the interest rate.

How do I open and manage my account?

The account is available for anyone aged 15 or under. The account must be opened with an adult named as the account operator, and we will require proof of identification for the adult and the child.

When you turn 16, we will automatically transfer your account to an account from our savings range. We will notify you of this in writing at the time.

You can open an account at any of our branches without an appointment or, through the post by sending us a completed application form with a cheque payable to the child named on the account for your initial deposit. Application forms can be posted to you on request, collected in branch, or printed from our website. To view our acceptable identification, please click here.

Only one account can be opened per customer.

The minimum amount to open this account is £10. You must have at least £10 in the account to keep it open. Withdrawals taking the balance below £10 will only be allowed when you are closing your account. Opening balances made by electronic payment must be sent within 14 days of opening your account, or the account will be automatically closed. The maximum amount that can be held in this account is £25,000 per account.

You can add money to your account at any of our branches by cash, cheque or standing order. All cheques deposited into the account must be in the name of the child named on the account.

Can I withdraw money?

Withdrawals are limited to a maximum of six each calendar year. After your sixth withdrawal, no further withdrawals including closure of the account and withdrawal of any interest, will be available until the next calendar year. All withdrawals must be for the benefit of the child. Withdrawals can be made by cash and cheque only. No internal transfers, electronic transfers, direct debits, faster payments, or standing order withdrawals are available.
