Individual Savings Accounts for children or Junior ISAs were introduced in November 2011 replacing Child Trust Funds. They are long term, tax-free savings accounts for children who
If your child lives outside the UK they can only open a Junior ISA if you are a Crown servant (for example, you work in the UK’s armed forces, diplomatic service or overseas civil service) and the child depends on you for care.
A child cannot have a Junior ISA as well as a Child Trust Fund account, however, a Junior ISA can be opened and the trust fund transferred into it.
There are two types of Junior ISA, a cash Junior ISA and a stocks and shares Junior ISA and a child can have one or both types at any one time but the total annual amount which can be paid into either or both combined (if they have both) is £9,000 (2023/2024).
If the child is under 16 the account must be opened by someone with parental responsibility, e.g. a parent or step-parent, who then becomes the 'registered contact' and the only one who can change the account or provider. They should also keep all paperwork and report on any change of circumstances.
Anyone can put money into the account (providing the annual limit is not exceeded) but only the child can take it out and only then when they are 18. If they choose not to take it out or invest it in a different type of account then the Junior ISA will automatically become an adult ISA.
The money in the account can only be withdrawn before the child is 18 under two conditions:-

I want to take this opportunity to thank you profusely for all your work, time and support in steering me through this process. I have felt very confident that I was in good hands from the outset and appreciated your patience and proactivity in seeking out an alternative provider when the original lender turned me down.
We are completed impressed with the professionalism of Capital Financial Services and their outstanding service.
Colin & Chrissy were extremely helpful in assisting us in arranging our first mortgage. As daunted first time buyers who knew nothing about the process, it made things much easier having them there along the way to answer questions, arrange everything we needed and deal with much of the paperwork on our behalf. They always got back to us promptly and took the time to explain what we needed to do and why. They made the process so much easier for us, so many thanks to them both! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.
Colin and the team at CFS arranged our mortgage and life cover. They did an excellent job of talking us through the different options available and explained everything thoroughly, so we fully understood our obligations before proceeding. They were courteous and helpful at all times and we will definitely use them again.
We didn’t fully understand the implications of Inheritance tax, which Colin explained to our family in an easy to understand manner. As a result, we are now secure in the knowledge that the family estate is protected.
After the birth of our first child, we decided to review our finances and contacted Capital Finances Services for independent advice. They were brilliant in advising us on what our priorities should be. It really put everything into perspective and has made us much more aware of our finances. We started with protection plans for our family and are about to make some ISA investments. The fact that the advice was independent really made a difference as the options are much greater and we are comfortable that we have the right plans in place for our needs.
