Our Expert Opinion on Marsden Building Society Junior Saver

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

The Marsden Junior Saver pays 3.00% on balances from £1 up to £10,000, which makes it a reasonable home for a child's savings, though with no market data supplied I cannot say how it sits against the wider field. The real catch is that 3.00% sits 0.10% below CPI inflation of 3.1% as of Aug 2026, so the money is losing purchasing power in real terms. If you want alternatives at the same rate, Beverley Building Society and Vernon Building Society both offer 3.00% on similar children's accounts.
