What happens when my child turns 18?

When your child turns 18, their Child Trust Fund or Junior ISA will “mature”. That means that they’ll be able to access the money.

They'll also automatically become the Registered Contact, which means you won’t be able to see their Child Trust Fund or Junior ISA in your own online account. Your child will need to register for their own account to access their money.
