What will you use your Child Trust Fund for?

I want to fund my future by growing my money

Your Child Trust Fund could be the start of something huge.

Moving it into a stocks and shares ISA via your online account means it stays invested and has the potential to grow into a fund that will support your next chapter, whatever that turns out to be.

When can I take money out of my Child Trust Fund?

How long does it take to withdraw or transfer money from a Child Trust Fund?

If you’ve requested your money by bank transfer, we will close your Child Trust Fund the day after you give the instruction. Bank transfers usually take between five to seven working days, depending on the bank you’re transferring into.

If you’re receiving your money by cheque, this should arrive with seven to 10 days of your request.

If you’re transferring your OneFamily Child Trust Fund into a OneFamily Junior ISA, this can take around a month to complete.

If your Child Trust Fund has matured (meaning you’ve turned 18 and can now access the money) and you want to move it into a Lifetime ISA or Stocks and Shares ISA, this should take around five days. The easiest way to make this change is by registering or logging into your online account and selecting the option to reinvest your money.

How much money is in my Child Trust Fund?

How can I claim a Child Trust Fund on behalf of a vulnerable child?

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, so it’s important that we protect all of them – especially those who are most vulnerable.

We follow FCA guidance and have robust processes in place to make sure that the money in maturing Child Trust Funds held by vulnerable customers goes to the right people.

If a young person is unable to manage their own affairs and needs extra support from their parent or guardian, we ask that you get in touch with us so we can help. We’ll look at each situation on a case-by-case basis and will do our best to make the process as smooth as possible.

Campaign for better access to Child Trust Funds for children who lack mental capacity

Not only have we changed our own approach so that families don’t need to go through a lengthy and costly process, we’re also lobbying the UK government.

We’re asking Westminster to make this simplified process the norm for the estimated 200,000 children who don’t have mental capacity to access their CTF.
