So, What types of bank accounts are available?
Choosing an account is the hardest part for all adults - There are hundreds available which can make narrowing it down to one feel like one epic task! Your first job is to work out which type of account you want to open for your children then research the market to compare rates of interest, plus any other benefits the account offers for them. The best accounts for children tend to fall into one of the following types:-
Children Bank Account - Instant access - this is a flexible account that allows your child to withdraw money as and when they wish. Most account holders will be issued with a bank card to withdraw money and you don't need huge amounts to open an account - just £1 is usually enough to get your child an account. The bank interest rates can vary on accounts like these so you do need to be aware of any interest changes that take place over time.
Why open a bank account?
Ahh the dreaded question … Well with the rising costs of living, university, cars and housing, it makes fab sense to start saving for your children at an early stage … We started when our first was born - Of course we don't know exactly what the future holds for them yet but it certainly helps to be prepared. When they finish schooling / college, they might want to head on to university, buy a new car or travel the world - all of which costs lots of money! Encouraging our youngsters and kiddies to save a little also teaches them about money and the importance of making good financial decisions later in life - an invaluable lesson that will stand them in good stead for the future.
Fixed rate Children bank accounts: If you want your child to save money over a longer period, a fixed rate account can offer more security as your money will continue to grow at the same rate of interest in ten years as it did when you opened it. Some of the high street banks offer bonuses from time to time - if you reach a certain credit level - which is a good incentive for children to save as much as possible. You can be given the option of having interest paid monthly or annually.
