Yes, as long as you have parental responsibility for the child and you are over 16.
A child is eligible for a OneFamily Junior ISA if:
• They are under age 16
• They do not already have a Child Trust Fund (CTF) or were born after 3 January 2011 and therefore ineligible for a CTF. Note - if they do have a CTF, it can be transferred into a Junior ISA
• They are a UK resident. If they aren’t they can still be eligible if you, as parent or legal guardian, are working overseas as a Crown Servant, or you are married/ in a registered civil partnership with such a person
No, the account and all money paid into it belong to the child. They can only access the money from age 18.
When your child turns 18, their Junior ISA will become an adult ISA. It’s up to them what they’d like to do with their investment.
There are a number of options available including:
• Transferring to another ISA
• Withdraw some of the money and keeping the adult ISA open
• Closing the account and withdrawing all of the funds
There is an Annual Management Charge of 1.5% of the value of the fund.
