Young Savers

Plant the roots today, watch their future grow. Ages 0-11 years old.

Account benefits

Helping your child develop strong financial habits from an early age is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. Our Young Saver Account is designed to grow with your child, nurturing good saving habits from their earliest years, right through to adulthood. 

As well as this, you will benefit from the following with this account:

- Free welcome pack

- A savings planner to help make saving fun and learn as they progress

- Stay entertained with our regular newsletters and competitions

- Track your savings on our mobile app or online banking

Dependent on whether we make a surplus, we offer junior members a return on their savings in the form of a dividend.

Saving for the future

Flexible child savings account with parental control

Our young savers account makes it easy for parents and guardians to save on behalf of a child for life’s important moments - whether that’s school uniforms, birthdays, holidays, or long-term future goals.

With full parental or guardian control, you manage the account until your child is ready - giving you peace of mind while they learn healthy saving habits over time.

  • Save regularly or deposit lump sums
  • Build a fund for short-term needs or long-term milestones
  • Help your child understand the value of saving in a safe, supportive way

Because we’re a community-based credit union, every pound saved helps strengthen the local area - making this a more ethical alternative to traditional children’s bank accounts.
