    • This account can be operated via branch and post.
    • A passbook will be issued when the account is opened.
Can I withdraw money?
    • Withdrawals are not allowed before the child’s 18th birthday, all amounts invested together with all interest accrued must remain in the JISA.
    • A passbook must be presented when a withdrawal is requested at maturity, at which point the Society may request documents to verify the child’s identity.
Additional Information
    • Tax-free.
    • Before the child’s 18th birthday we will write to the registered contact with details of the options available.  If no instructions are received at that time, the JISA will be transferred to a holding account, which is also tax free under current legislation, but may not be the same interest rate.
    • *Gross means the annual rate of interest before any deduction of income tax. This account is tax free. AER illustrates what the interest rate would be if it were paid and added each year.
