Junior ISA (JISAC)

Junior ISA (JISA).

Interest is variable, calculated on a daily basis and is paid annually on 5 April.

†Annual Equivalent Rate illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year, and has been rounded to two decimal places.

As the interest rate is variable, we may change the rate if we reasonably believe that the change is needed. If we reduce the interest on your account, we will write to you 14 days before we make the change. For full details on how and why we will change the interest rate on your account, please refer to Section 8 of the Savings Terms and Conditions..

Based on the current interest rate, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,036.50. This figure is for illustration purposes and is based on no additional deposits, withdrawals or changes in interest rates within the 12 month period.

To open an account you must be permanently resident in the UK. Simply call into your local branch and complete an application form.

You will need to provide some identification when you open your account, details of our requirements can be obtained from the “before you apply section” on this page, your local branch or by calling. us. If you are already a Hanley Member, in most cases, this will not be necessary.

When you open your account you will receive a passbook.

Minimum investment is £10 – maximum current JISA allowance which is accessible via the HMRC website. You can add to your account at any time subject to the maximum current JISA limit.

Once the account has been opened it can be managed either in branch and/or via post.
