Our Expert Opinion on Suffolk Building Society Stepping Stone ISA (18-24 year olds)

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

This account is aimed squarely at 18 to 24 year olds looking to start saving into an ISA, with a minimum of just £10 to open, which is a genuinely low barrier. The 2.60% rate is below the cash ISA market average and sits 2.52% behind the category leader at 5.12%, so it is hard to justify on rate alone. At 2.60% it also falls 0.50% below August 2026 CPI of 3.1%, meaning your money is losing purchasing power in real terms. If you want instant access within the same ISA wrapper, Moneybox's Open Access Cash ISA pays 3.80% and is worth a look first.
