What would the estimated balance be after 12 months on a £1,000 deposit?	Based on the current interest rate, if you deposited £1,000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,013. Please note that this projection is provided for illustration purposes only and assumes that no changes take place on the account after the initial deposit is made.
How do I open and manage my account?	To open an account you need to provide a completed application form, the minimum investment of £1.00 and proof of the child’s identity. Where there is an ‘operator’ on the account, proof of their identity and address is also required. Save up to £10,000 subject to an overall Society limit of £750,000. Each account can only be for the benefit of one child. Available to savers up to 16 years. Available to new members and existing members residing in the United Kingdom. This account can be operated via branch and post. A passbook will be issued when the account is opened.
Can I withdraw money?	Instant access subject to the Society’s normal daily limits which are: £500 cash or £99,999 cheque per day at any branch or agency office. Larger amounts of cash up to £2,000 and cheques over £99,999 require at least 24 hours’ notice. A passbook must be presented when a withdrawal is requested.
Additional Information	The account can be operated by an adult (the ‘operator’) on behalf of the child however all monies invested belong to the child. Interest is payable gross (no tax is deducted). However, you may be liable to pay tax depending on your income, for further details go to www.GOV.UK and search Personal Savings Allowance. We will contact you before your 16th birthday to advise you of the options available to you. The account will be transferred to a holding account if we don’t hear from you by that time. *Gross means the contractual rate of interest payable on which you may be liable to pay income tax at the prescribed rate. AER illustrates what the interest rate would be if it were paid and added each year.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a building society is unable to meet its financial obligations.

How to apply

Opening an account is easy and you can do that in any of our branches or by post.

Simply download, print and complete the application form. Then return your completed form, necessary identification and opening cheque to your preferred branch or post it to Loughborough Building Society, 6 High Street, Loughborough LE11 2QB.

If opening an account in the name of a child aged 0-16 years, you will need the child’s birth certificate. Where the account is to be opened with an adult registered as the operator we will also need identification for the adult or each adult where more than one operator is registered. We also need to verify the identity of the person with parental responsibility (as shown on the birth certificate).

Cheques must be payable to the account holder.

For postal applications we will accept photocopy identification documents as long as they are certified by an appropriate person such as a solicitor, accountant, bank or building society official or other financial services approved person and we are provided with sufficient information to be able to contact that person.
