About the Scottish Friendly Junior ISA
With Scottish Friendly, you’ll be investing with an award-winning Junior ISA provider:
Winner of Best Junior ISA Provider 2023 for the 5th year running at the Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts Awards.
Best Junior ISA Provider 2023 winner at the World Business Outlook Awards.
Two ways to get started
As kids get bigger, so do their expenses. From driving lessons to a deposit for their first home. However, our Junior ISA options could help their money grow as fast as they do.
Invest in a Select Junior ISA between 4 March and 30 April, and we'll pay up to £100 cashback into their Junior ISA. Gift terms apply.
Please note that Scottish Friendly doesn’t offer a Cash Junior ISA. Keep in mind that stock market investments can go down as well as up, so your child could get back less than you've paid in. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules could change in the future.
If within the first 5 years of setting up the policy the registered contact transfers the policy to another Junior ISA manager, there will be a charge of £50 deducted from the withdrawal value. Only a mum, dad or guardian can take out a Junior ISA for the child. However, once set up anyone can contribute. The funds in a Junior ISA belong to the child and can only be accessed by them when they turn 18.
Do-it yourself
A selection of 9 funds to choose from so you can tailor your child’s investment, whether that is investing in just one, a mixture of all 9 or somewhere in between. This includes a Unitised With-Profits fund that comes with a guaranteed minimum payout when the child turns 18, provided no switches or withdrawals are made.

Already a customer?
Did you know a special feature of your child’s Scottish Friendly Junior ISA allows you to invest towards more than one savings goal at the same time?
Adding another policy to your child’s existing Scottish Friendly Junior ISA can help manage your different saving and investing goals for them.
And if your child is lucky enough to have a grandparent, aunt, uncle or family friend that has a soft spot for them and money to spare, then once set up, they can add their very own pot into the Junior ISA too and pay money in directly from them.
Whether you and your family want to save towards their dream car, a deposit for their first home, or wherever life takes them, you can have as many policies as you like within their Junior ISA limit for the tax year.
