How to save

Most people think saving for children is a job just for parents but it isn’t! Anyone can save for your Child with their Child Trust Fund as long as the total contributions from all sources do not exceed £1,200 a year. A year is defined as running from the child's birthday to a day before their next birthday.

Saving for your child now and up until their 18th birthday means that they may have better opportunities like going to University, buying their first car, a deposit for their first house. And the other great thing is neither you nor your child will pay tax on income or gains on the account. It is safe from the Tax man!

You can save for your child’s future in any of the following easy ways:

  1. Set up a Direct Debit
    You can set up a regular Direct Debit so you don’t have to worry about paying each month.
  2. Making Debit Card payments
    If you have friends or family who wish to contribute a one off payment you can do so using our Debit Card facility by calling us on 0800 028 1050†.
  3. Cheque
    Simply print this form, complete and return it to us with your cheque.
  4. Standing Order & Direct Credit
    For more information on how to pay by Standing Order or Direct Credit please call us on 0800 028 1050†. Lines are open Monday to Friday 8am-8pm and Saturday 9am-4pm.

If you prefer to speak to someone about making a payment please call us on
0800 028 1050† and a member of our UK call centre will be happy to assist you.

Once a contribution has been made to a Child Trust Fund it belongs to the child and will remain in the account until the child reaches 18.
