Our Expert Opinion on Market Harborough BS Kickstarter

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

This instant-access children's account from Market Harborough BS accepts deposits from birth up to age 18, with a low £10 minimum and a £10,000 ceiling. The 2.30% rate is slightly ahead of the Barclays Children's Savings at 2.27%, though it sits 0.80% below CPI inflation of 3.1% as of Aug 2026, so the real value of savings will still erode slowly. The £10,000 cap is the main constraint worth noting for parents with larger sums to set aside for a child.
