How is interest calculated on a Junior Cash ISA?

The account will earn interest at our standard Junior Cash ISA interest rate (which is variable).

The interest rate which applies to the account will be confirmed in the Key Features Document/Summary Box.

We will pay interest into the account either monthly or annually depending on the options available at the time the account is opened. We will confirm to the Registered Contact when interest will be paid in the Key Features Document/Summary Box.

Interest will be earned at a daily rate. We will calculate interest based on the money in the account at the end of each day. If the interest is paid annually, at the end of the year we will add up the interest from each day over the year and then pay the total into the account. We will pay interest on the anniversary of the account opening. This means if the account was opened on the 2nd April we will pay interest on the 2nd April next year and so on depending on how long the account is open.

If interest is paid monthly, at the end of the month we will add up the interest from each day over the month and pay the total into the account. We will pay interest a month after the account was opened except if the account was opened on a date that does not take place in each calendar month, in which case we will pay interest the next calendar day. For example, if the account was opened on the 3rd April then we will pay interest on the 3rd of each month but if the account was opened on the 31st January we will pay interest on the 1st March.

The Registered Contact can also find out how much interest the account is earning by checking our interest rates in our Mobile App or Online Banking, or by contacting us.
