Our Expert Opinion on Halifax Junior Cash ISA

The Halifax Junior Cash ISA pays 2.35% and is open to any child under 18, with no minimum worth worrying about at just £1 to open. The main catch is that the money is completely locked away until the child turns 18, so this is genuinely long-term saving rather than a rainy-day fund. It accepts transfers in from existing Junior ISAs, which is useful if you want to consolidate. Worth noting that Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland both offer their own Junior Cash ISAs at the same 2.35% rate, so if you already bank with one of them it may be simpler to go direct.
