Summary Box

Account name Childrens Trust Saver Issue 6
What is the interest rate?
Annual Interest 3.80% gross pa/AER
Interest is earned daily and paid on the anniversary of account opening and on the child’s 18th birthday.
Monthly Interest: No monthly interest option available.
Can Skipton Building Society change the interest rate?
  • Yes, the interest rate is variable, so it can go up or down.
  • Section 8 of our Savings Account Terms and Conditions explains why we may change the interest rate.
  • If you have at least £100 in your account we'll notify you in advance if we intend to reduce your interest rate.
What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit? The estimated balance after 12 months would be £1,038 assuming that:
  • the account is opened with £1,000 and interest starts being earned straight away
  • no further deposits or any withdrawals are made
  • the interest is paid annually and added to the account
  • the interest rate stays the same for the full 12 months.
Estimated balances are for illustrative purposes only and may be less for accounts opened by debit card or cheque.
How do I open and manage my account?
  • Until the child turns 18, a parent, grandparent, or close adult relative can open the account and would be the account trustee.
  • The trustee(s) are the account holders and hold the money in trust for the benefit of the child. The child will be the beneficiary.
  • The account is only available to UK residents and can be opened and managed in branch or by post.
  • You can save from £1 up to £50,000.
  • Only one child per account and only one account per child.
Can I withdraw money?
  • Yes, withdrawals are allowed from this account in branch or by post. Withdrawals should be for the benefit of the child named on the account and any withdrawals not in the child's name will be subject to our discretion. There is no need to give us notice and there are no penalties.
  • When the child reaches 18, we’ll add any interest due to the account and transfer the money into an easy access account for adults where the money will remain held in trust. We’ll write to you, the trustee(s), in advance with full details of the new account and with any other options available at the time.
Additional information
  • AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.
  • We pay all savings interest gross, which means no tax is deducted. It’s your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future
  • Any of our accounts can be withdrawn from sale at any time and without notice
