Grandchildren's accounts

5
We recently had to review our grandchildren's savings accounts. After a meeting with Emily and Flo (?), about available and best options for us and them, we were happy to follow the suggestions given and move some monies from the Children's Saver account to the u.18 Saver Account, and increase the amounts placed in 2 year Bonds. These two young ladies were friendly, and very helpful, and we will happily turn to one or the other again when we next need assistance. Reviewed on: 28th January 2026

I have been a member for several years and I have always had the best and friendliest advice when needed.
