The Government launched the Child Trust Fund (CTF) to encourage saving for children.

Every child born on or after 1st September 2002 will receive a FREE voucher worth £250.

There are a variety of accounts available from a variety of providers.

Returns are free of income tax and capital gains tax (tax advantages depend on individual circumstaces and may change in the future).

Parents and others can invest up to a combined total of £1200 each year into the account. This money can only be accessed by the child and only when they reach 18.

  • Online by Direct Debit – you can set up a regular Direct Debit or one-off payment by clicking here. You will need the following information: your child's Child Trust Fund account number and your bank details.

Please note – if you have already set up a Direct Debit for your child's Trust Fund account you cannot increase your monthly payment or make one-off contributions online – instead please call 0800 616695.

 

Inviting others to add to your child's account

  • Make one-off extra payments into the account – making it an ideal place for gifts of christening, birthday or Christmas money – the registered contact can send friends/family an email inviting them to top-up your child's Trust Fund account online by Direct Debit.
