Junior Accounts
Junior savers must be under 16 years of age and live within Renfrewshire.
The account can be opened by a current member by completing a Junior Application form - this form must be signed by the child's parent or guardian and a copy of the child's birth certificate must be provided.
A minimum £10 must be deposited when joining and payments can be made into the account by standing order,bank transfer or in the office paying cash or card.
The adult who opens the child's account is the Account holder. The account will be converted to an adult account when the child is 16 years old. The Account Holder can choose to control the account until the child is 18 years old.
The maximum deposit in the first year is £1000 and the maximum overall shareholdings for a junior account is £5000.
When the child is 16/18 years old the Account Holder will be contacted and advised that the child must then complete an adult membership form and provide proof of address and photo ID.
If a membership form is not completed within 1 month, the junior account will be closed and the Account Holder will be sent a cheque for the balance.
