A children's savings bond for a better future
Just think what a child could do with a cash lump sum on their 18th, 21st or 25th birthday. They might be able to use it to learn to drive and buy their first car, or to help them pay for the cost of further education. Our Junior Bond lets you invest regular amounts over a long period to help give a child those choices in the future.
What is a Junior Bond?
Our Junior Bond is a child's Tax Exempt Savings Plan (TESP) that invests in stocks and shares, which means you could see more growth than cash over the long term. When you invest there is a risk that the value of your investment can go down as well as up.
