Like the adult Individual Savings Account (ISA), a Junior Individual Savings Account (JISA) is a tax efficient way of saving as income earned is exempt from UK income tax and capital gains tax. There are two types of JISA - a junior cash ISA and a junior stocks & shares ISA. Danske Bank offers a junior cash ISA.

Interest rates
Rate correct as at 1 September 2023
Balance | Tax-free / AER (variable) |
---|---|
All balances | 3.80% |
Interest is calculated daily and paid into your account at the end of December each year.
Tax-free means that interest is paid free from income tax. This position may change in the future.
AER stands for 'Annual Equivalent Rate' and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded (paid on the total balance including previous interest) once each year.
The rate of interest is variable and subject to change in the future. Where the balance in your Danske Junior Cash ISA is £100 or more, we will give you 14 calendar days' notice of any reduction in credit interest rate.
Additional Information
The account is not suitable for day to day banking.
You’ll be sent a statement at least every six months. With eBanking, you can ask us to receive your statements electronically, instead of paper copies.
Danske eBanking may be temporarily unavailable when we carry out routine maintenance.
