The Government is giving the parents of each eligible child born on or after 1 September 2002 a voucher for £250 to open and kick-start a Child Trust Fund (CTF) account.
Like the Government, we believe it's extremely important for children to have savings and to understand how they work. The savings habit and the financial 'know-how' it brings is something that will help provide an excellent grounding for your child's future.
What's more, when they're ready to do their own thing, they'll need a lump sum to help get started - whether their goal is further education, buying a car, setting up a home of their own or even launching a small business. That's where CTF comes in, by aiming to provide a lump sum to help with these things when they're 18.
