OneFamily and WHSmith
We're proud to have partnered with WHSmith to share our Junior ISA so that more children can say "yes" to their dream future. Whether they use their Junior ISA money to study, to travel to an apprenticeship or to buy the equipment they need to start their career, it could make all the difference to your child when they turn 18.
At OneFamily, we believe that everyone has the right to save for their children and we make that possible with our low minimum investment of just £10 a month.
About OneFamily's Junior ISA
A OneFamily Junior ISA is an investment account that can be opened for a child under 16 by someone who has parental responsibility for the child.
Anyone can pay money in, and the child will be able to access it when they turn 18 without paying any tax on any money they withdraw.
OneFamily's Junior ISA is a stocks and shares junior ISA. That means the money that you pay in goes into a fund that's invested in the stock market.
This gives your money good potential to outgrow interest rates, but there is a risk that its value could go down, which would mean your child getting back less than has been paid in.
You can invest up to £9,000 in a junior ISA each tax year. But you don't need to invest as much as that, at OneFamily, our minimum investment is just £10 a month by Direct Debit or a £100 one-off payment.
Junior ISA projection calculator
Use our Junior ISA calculator to find out how much your child could get at 18 if you start investing a small amount now.
The calculator shows how your child's Junior ISA could grow with low, medium and high performance. Remember, projections are not a guarantee of future performance and your child could get back less than you pay in.
Please note: No more than £9,000 may be invested into a Junior ISA within a single tax year. This includes your initial investment and your monthly direct debit payments.
You have a choice of two funds
As our Junior ISA invests in stocks and shares, its value can go down as well as up meaning your child could get less than was paid in.
