Smart savings for junior’s future

Junior savings accounts can be opened on the behalf of your child from birth up until they are sixteen years of age. Once your child has reached sixteen, ownership of the account will be transferred over to them to manage on their own. Payments and withdrawals from the account can be made via the account of the parent making it easy to manage. When the child reaches age the account will become a normal membership account.

The parent can continue to deposit money into the account but can no longer withdraw from it. This is a good way to teach your children the value of money and how to correctly manage it.
