To open a Junior ISA (JISA) on behalf of a child, the individual submitting the application must be an active client on the platform.
In addition, the individual opening the JISA must be the child's parent or registered legal guardian. JISAs cannot be opened by other relatives or third parties, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, or family friends.
Third-Party Contributions
A third party may make contributions to a JISA. However, as the payment will be received from a bank account that is not registered to the client's record, the deposit will not be applied automatically as it normally would be.
In these circumstances, please notify us of the payment in advance and ensure that the payment reference is provided in the correct format. This will enable us to identify and allocate the funds manually as quickly as possible.
The payment reference should be in the following format:
