Compare our Best Junior Cash ISAs  

Junior cash ISAs are tax-free savings accounts for children, planned to be available from November 2011. With a junior cash ISA, parents, family and friends will be able to deposit up to £3,000 per tax year to save for the child's future. This is the total junior ISA allowance, however, so it can also be split with a junior stocks and shares ISA. See below to compare our selection of the best junior cash ISAs:

Each eligible child who is under 18 and does not already hold a Child Trust Fund will be able to hold one junior cash ISA per tax year. Once they reach 16 they will gain management of the account, and they can access the funds once they turn 18. Transfers can be made to different providers, and funds can be moved from junior cash ISAs to junior stocks and shares ISAs, or vice-versa.
