* 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.
