Other ways we can help

Teaching kids about money

Wondering where to begin teaching kids about money? Our guide can be a great place to start.

Free financial education

MoneySense is our free programme where kids, parents and even teachers can learn about money. It’s full of activities, games and articles to make learning fun.

Invest for the future

If you’re looking to invest money for your child’s future, a Junior ISA may be a good option. Money is invested, which means it could grow more than in a normal bank account. But remember, the value of investments can go down as well as up and your capital is at risk. Eligibility criteria, fees and charges apply.
