* Gross is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

** AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will contain an AER, you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

# Net is the rate of interest payable after the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

† Tax free means free of income tax.

To open an account you'll need:

  • To complete a child introduction form.
  • If you don't already have a Principality account, we'll need proof of your identity.
  • A minimum of just £10 (a maximum investment of £150).
  • Your child's birth certificate.
  • If you've been a member of the Principality for more than a year, please bring evidence of your signature and a signed letter with your name and address, explaining what relation the child is to you – e.g. son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandson.
  • If you don't already have a Principality account, we'll need proof of your identity.
  • If your child is aged 14 or over, they can come into their local Principality branch and open a Children's Account on their own, providing they have the required proof of identity. Our staff will be delighted to help them and answer any questions.

If you have any difficulty providing the required documentation then please contact us. You can also set up a standing order for regular payments to be made to the account.
