*Rates correct as of 27 February 2012. Interest rate quoted is Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. Tax-free is the contractual rate of interest payable where the interest is exempt from income tax. The favourable tax treatment for Junior Cash ISAs could change.
