I want my teen to take over now
If you want them to take over management of their Child Trust Fund before they turn 18, they’ll need to register to do this online. As the account manager we'll only communicate with them. It’s important they do this as soon as possible to avoid any delay in them accessing their money when they turn 18.
They can get access to their online account to view the latest statement and an up to date account balance. This is where they will access their money at 18!
I want to manage my teen's account until they turn 18
If your teen isn’t quite old enough to manage their Child Trust Fund yet or they’d rather leave it in your hands for now, you’ll need to register for an online account yourself. We’ll communicate with you until your teen takes over the account or until they turn 18.
When managing your teen’s Child Trust Fund account, you’ll be able to view the latest account statement, account balance and even change which fund the Child Trust Fund invests in.
