What are junior ISAs?

Junior ISA (JISAs) are savings or investment accounts for children.

Anyone can pay money in, and the child will be able to access it when they turn 18 without paying tax on any money they withdraw.

OneFamily’s Junior ISA is a stocks and shares JISA. That means the money that you pay in goes into a fund that’s invested in the stock market. As the money is invested, it has good potential to outgrow inflation, but the value is likely to go up and down over time. If the child withdraws money when the value is low, they could get back less than has been paid in.

That’s why at OneFamily, we give you a simple choice of two funds: one for more cautious investors and one for those who are comfortable taking more risk.

Our minimum investment is just £10 a month by direct debit or a lump sum starting from £100.

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.

When you open your OneFamily Junior ISA, you’ll be asked to choose which of these two funds you'd like to invest in:
