Yes. As long as the child was a UK resident when the Junior cash ISA was opened, you will still be able to pay into the Junior cash ISA even though you and/or the child have moved abroad.

On receipt of a completed request, we will change the type of cash ISA you hold, the balance of your account and your account number will remain the same. All money held in the account will maintain its tax-free status and the change will not affect your subscription allowance. We will write to you to confirm when we have actioned your request.

A child may only hold one Junior cash ISA and one Junior stocks and shares ISA at any time and cannot hold a Junior ISA and a Child Trust Fund at the same time.

You can however apply to transfer a Junior ISA or a Child Trust Fund from one provider to another. You can also transfer between the different types of Junior ISA, in either direction.

• Transfers of current year’s subscriptions or transfers between the same type of Junior ISA must always be done in full.
• Partial transfers can only be done if they are previous years’ subscriptions and you are moving the subscriptions between different Junior ISA types e.g. Junior cash to Junior stocks and shares or Junior stocks and shares to Junior cash.

• The whole of the Child Trust Fund must be transferred and the Child Trust Fund subsequently closed.
• The annual subscription allowance for a Child Trust Fund is based on the child’s birth year while Junior ISA subscriptions are based on tax years. When a transfer of a Child Trust Fund to a Junior ISA has been made, the child can use the full Junior ISA subscription allowance for the tax year in which the transfer takes place regardless of any subscriptions made to the Child Trust Fund in that year. This only occurs in the tax year in which the Child Trust Fund is transferred, in subsequent years only the Junior ISA allowance can be used.

We are not currently opening new Junior Cash ISA accounts, so for now transfers can only be made to existing Junior Cash ISAs.

Right Start Saver accounts are for people aged 18 and under. We’ll be in touch when the account holder turns 18. If we don’t hear back from you, we’ll close the account and transfer the funds to another Triodos account, until we receive your instructions.

To top up a Triodos Junior Cash ISA, you can:

• Make an online payment from another account (either an account with another provider or another Triodos account that allows withdrawals)
• Send us a cheque made out to the child

If you want to deposit a cheque, please post it along with your account details or a paying-in slip to: ‘Freepost TRIODOS BANK’ (no stamp required)

The Triodos Bank sort code is 16-58-10 and you can find your Triodos cash ISA account number by logging in to your account online or via the Triodos Mobile Banking App, or by checking your bank statements.

It is only possible to make withdrawals from the Junior ISA once the child turns 18. The only exception is if the child becomes terminally ill, or dies.
It is however possible to transfer a Junior Cash ISA to a Junior ISA with another provider.

Each child can have one Junior cash ISA and one Junior stocks and shares ISA at any one time. These can be with different providers.

A child cannot hold both a Junior ISA and a Child Trust Fund, with the same or different providers.

You need to be a UK resident to be eligible to apply for any of our savings and deposit accounts.

We are not currently opening new Junior Cash ISAs, however if you already have an existing Ethical Junior Cash ISA you can request that your Child Trust Fund is transferred to us.

When your child becomes 16 they can become the Account operator and manage their own account if they want to. Withdrawals cannot be made from the account until the child is 18.

Regardless of who put the money into the Junior Cash ISA, the money in the account belongs to the child. It is only the child that can make withdrawals once they turn 18.

From the age of 16, the account must be held in the name of the young person. We’ll be in touch at the time to let you know what you need to do.

Anybody can deposit money into a child's Junior Cash ISA.

Yes, you can change the adult operator on a JISA by completing a change of account operator form. Only one adult is able to operate the account.

No, only one adult operator can be attached to the account.

In March 2022 we took the difficult decision to suspend applications for our children’s accounts, Right Start Saver and Junior ISA. 

Introducing young people to the principles of sustainability remains a core ingredient of Triodos’ mission and we are committed to providing young people with a route into sustainable banking. So we are working hard to build new processes to enable young savers to be able to start their banking journey with Triodos with the high standard of customer service we want for all our customers. Until then new account applications will remain closed.

There are no changes to existing Right Start Saver and Junior ISA accounts. These will continue to operate in the same way and new deposits can continue to be made to existing accounts.
