Ready to take over your Child Trust Fund?
If you're over 16, you can now register to take control of your Child Trust Fund.
If you’ve turned 18, you’ll be able to tell us what to do with your money as soon as you've registered.
After you've registered, you'll be in charge, so we won’t be able to discuss the account with your parent/guardian anymore and we’ll send all information to you instead.
What can I do with my money when I turn 18?
Once you turn 18, you’ll be able to decide how to use your money to create the future you want.
Keep your money invested with us
Keep some of your money invested, but also take some money out
Sell all your investments to withdraw all the money
Thinking of keeping some of your money invested?
If you want to keep some, or all, of your money invested, you'll be able to easily move your money into one of our other accounts.
Planning on buying your first home? Our Lifetime ISA could help you get the keys quicker. For any other saving goals, or if you're not yet sure what you're saving for, our Stocks and Shares ISA could be a good fit.
Your money will be invested in stocks and shares
If you choose to move money into our ISA or Lifetime ISA, it will be invested in funds that buy shares on the stock market on your behalf.
This approach gives your money good potential to out-grow interest rates. It’s important to be aware though that the value can go down as well as up, meaning you could get back less than you pay in.
Ready to register?
Registering doesn’t mean you need to make your mind up. If you’re not yet sure what you want to do, you can still register but leave your money where it is until you decide - there’s no rush.
If you're 18 and have decided how you’d like to use your money, you’ll be able to instruct us once you’re in your online account.
