Open a Junior ISA and save towards your child's future

A Junior ISA with Foresters is a tax-efficient savings account for adults to save on behalf of a child starting from as little as £10 a month up to £9,000 this tax year. Friends and family can contribute too – helping to build up your child's savings pot. 

At age 18 the Junior ISA will automatically role into an adult ISA where your child can decide whether they would like to continue to save. 
Open a Junior ISA today and take that step towards saving for when they reach adulthood.

Saving for yourself

Whether you are saving for a home, ensuring you have a rainy day pot or simply just saving, our ISA is an affordable way to save for the future if you’re investing for the medium to long-term. 

We’ve made things easy to manage - Our ISA allows you to combine both a Stocks and Shares ISA and Lifetime ISA in one Plan. You need to be over 18 and a UK resident, and for the Lifetime ISA element under age 40, to open one. If eligible, you can have one or both. 

happy couple, start saving from £20

Under age 40? Get up to £1,000 added to your savings

A Lifetime ISA is available to anyone aged between 18 and 39, and was introduced by the Government to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder and/or to build additional savings for later on in life. The Government offers a 25% bonus added to all amounts invested into the Lifetime element, up to the maximum £4,000 per year, meaning the Government will contribute up to £1,000 each year.You can start contributing from £20 up to the ISA allowance of £20,000 (of which £4,000 can be saved into the Lifetime ISA). 

 

As the Lifetime ISA limit applies to each individual, you and a partner (if eligible) can have a separate Lifetime ISA and combine your savings to purchase a first home together in the UK worth up to £450,000.If you are saving for later life you can contribute and receive the government bonus up to age 50. From age 60 you may begin encashing from the Lifetime ISA without paying the government penalty and free from UK income and capital taxes.

Choose your ISA

You can decide how your ISA invests, choose between our Stakeholder ISA with sustainable fund choice, or our Shariah compliant ISA. If eligible, during your application you can decide to open a Stocks and Shares ISA and/or a Lifetime ISA.

A Lifetime ISA must be held for at least 12 months before using it towards the purchase of a first home. By saving into a Lifetime ISA instead of a workplace pension, you could lose the benefit of employer contributions and the value could affect any entitlement to means tested benefits. If you make an withdrawal before age 60, other than to purchase your first home, you will pay a government penalty of 25% on the withdrawn amount, and you may get back less than you paid in.
