Children's accounts

Getting your first bank account is all part of growing up. A bit like convincing your mum to let you stay out late with your mates but not nearly such hard work.

There are a few bank accounts to choose from depending on your age. All are easy accounts to apply for and you can get at your cash whenever you want.

11-15 year olds:     BarclayPlus BarclayPlus is spot on for saving if you're aged from 11 to 15 but you can still get at your cash when you want it.  Find out about BarclayPlus

16-19 year olds: Young    Person's Account* Whether you're starting work or staying on, you can get Online Banking and a debit card with a Young Person's Account.  Young Person's Account

If you are an adult who wants to save for the benefit of a child, please see our Children's Savings Account

* You could be eligible for this account at age 19 but only if you're in further education or taking a gap year before starting a full-time higher education course.
