Choose from the options below in order to top-up an account. Please remember that money paid into a Junior ISA or a Child Trust Fund will remain there until the child is 18, when only they will be able to access it. If you are investing in a stocks and shares Junior ISA or a stakeholder Child Trust Fund, do note that the value of the account could fall as well as rise, and the child could receive back less than was paid in.

Please use the child's account number as a reference. The format should be C00012345K, K00012345B or J00012345A.
Important: if you provide an incorrect reference, for example the wrong account number, the payment will be rejected or could be applied to an incorrect account. It may also mean that we are unable to return any money that has been paid in. |
Unfortunately, we do not accept cheques or cash paid over the counter at a bank, building society or Post Office.
Please remember that if the end of the account year is approaching (this is from the child's birthday for CTF accounts, and the tax year for Junior ISAs) and you wish to take full advantage of their current year’s allowance, you should take extra care to ensure that your payment reaches us in time.
We cannot accept payments from overseas bank accounts. If you are living overseas and do not have a UK bank account, please call our international customer service number.
