The ISA allowance is the maximum amount you can invest across all types of ISAs in any one tax year. You can put your whole allowance into a particular type of ISA or you can split it between the different types of ISAs: Cash, Stocks & Shares, Lifetime and Innovative Finance. The ISA allowance for the 2024/25 tax year is £20,000. For Junior Cash ISAs, the allowance is £9,000.

When you pay funds into your Account, your funds will start earning interest from the day the funds are paid into your Account.

We are not currently opening new Junior Cash ISAs, however you can transfer funds from your Right Start Saver into an existing Junior Cash ISA, subject to the Junior ISA allowance of £9,000 for the 2024/25 tax year.

Before the child turns 18 we will contact you to confirm that the Triodos Ethical Junior Cash ISA will become a variable rate cash ISA on the child’s 18th birthday. After this date the child can decide what they wish to do with the account/funds.

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.

Yes, you can change your existing Triodos cash ISA to a Triodos Online Cash ISA or Fixed Rate Cash ISA by completing and posting us the form below.

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.

Remember that investments go up and down in value, so you could get back less than you put in. 

If you arrange a transfer between ISAs by completing a transfer form, your tax-free ISA status will remain protected and the transfer will not affect your ISA allowance for the current tax year.

Don’t withdraw the money out of an ISA yourself or move it to a personal bank account. If you do this, your money will lose its ISA status. This means that you can’t reinstate it and you’ll permanently lose that portion of your ISA allowance. If you choose to re-add money that you’ve withdrawn from an ISA, you’ll use up a portion of an ISA allowance, unless you have a flexible ISA.
