How do I apply?

At your local branch
Visit your local branch with proof of identity for both you and the child, and we'll open the child’s account.   

What proof of Identity can I use?
In addition to your own identification, the child’s birth certificate or passport is also required to open the account.

Alternatively, If your child was born after the 1st September 2002 and you receive Child Benefit for them, you can open a tax free Child Trust Fund account.

 

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product, which quotes an interest rate, will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time. Gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
