Our Expert Opinion on Progressive Building Society Cash Junior ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Progressive Building Society's Cash Junior ISA pays 3.00%, which sits below the Junior ISA market average and 0.85% behind the category leader at 3.85%. It also barely trails inflation, coming in 0.10% below CPI of 3.1% for Aug 2026, so the real value of savings is essentially flat. The account accepts transfers in and opens with just £1, which suits parents wanting flexibility, but if rate is the priority I would look at Earl Shilton Building Society's Junior Cash ISA at 3.35% or TSB's at 3.15% before committing here.
