Under 16s account eligibility

There are some requirements and restrictions to be aware of before opening an Under 16s account.

Parents and guardians:

  • You must be the child’s legal parent or guardian.

  • You’ll be the account holder – money in the child’s account will legally belong to you.

  • You’ll be the main adult connected to the child’s account. You can also add a trusted family member onto the account but they won't have the same access to the account as you.

  • You can have up to 5 child accounts connected to your account.

You don’t need to have the same surname as your child.
