Hello wise forum members,


Our son is about to be paid for his modelling job and I should probably go open a bank account for him. So are there any recommended local banks that cater to kids? Also, what kind of account should I open? A regular savings account? A junior ISA? A stock market index fund?


Thanks in advance!

When I opened my dayghter's account the young saver account rate was better than the JISA so there was no point tying the money up until 16 like a JISA does.


You don't say how much he is likely to earn but in my opinion a JISA is only worth doing if he will utilise all of his personal income tax allowance.


A FTSE linked fund could be a good investment if the money is not needed over the medium to long term as it should outperform cash on deposit on that timeframe but there is an element if risk.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
