Ready to take over your Child Trust Fund?
If you're over 16 you can register to take control of your Child Trust Fund (CTF).
When you turn 18 you will be able to tell us via your online account what you want to do with the investments in your CTF.
Taking control of the account will mean that we can no longer discuss the account with your parent/guardian and all account information will be sent to you.

What can I do with my investments?
You can access your investments when you turn 18 - you’ll need to decide what you want to do next:
Simply continue to keep saving with us
Save some of your investments, but sell the rest to take some of the money out
Sell all of your investments to take all the money out
Thinking about saving some of your money?
We have two simple options for you. Whichever you choose, you’ll be able to easily check online how your investments are doing so you’re never in the dark.
Want to save some money but not sure when or what you need it for? Our Stocks & Shares ISA could be a good fit.
If you are saving up to buy your first house, our Lifetime ISA can help you get the keys quicker.
Your money will be invested in Stocks & Shares
As we invest in stocks & shares it is important to be aware that the value can go down as well as up, meaning you could get back less than has been paid in.
Invest for your future in a way that's aligned with your values
Care about climate change? Yeah, us too.
Keep saving with us and put your money in one of our climate-friendly investment options.
Top notch security
We want to make sure the only person who can access your investments is, well, you. We’ve partnered with Yoti, who make it quick and easy for you to prove your identity using your mobile phone.
