Please remember, as with all investing, your capital is at risk. Bonuses are not guaranteed and past performance does not guarantee future returns.

Junior ISA

Invest in your little ones’ futures, too!

They deserve the best start in life and, with a Junior ISA, you can start building a tax-free cash lump sum to gift to your child when they turn 18. That’s a vital financial helping hand towards everything that awaits them in the future. University, a deposit for a home, their first car, worldwide travels, launching their dream career… The possibilities really are endless. Whatever path they choose, they’ll definitely be grateful for some cash to help them on their way.

You can get started from £10 a month or with a £100 lump sum and, like with the Stocks & Shares ISA, you can choose payment options to suit you.

5 Year Fixed Rate Bond

Looking for somewhere to lock your money away for a while? Or perhaps you have some money sitting in an account where it just isn’t growing? Shepherds Friendly’s 5 Year Fixed Rate Bond could be the solution for you. This savings plan offers you a guaranteed interest rate paid each year, over a period of 5 years, helping you to make the most of your money. So, how does it work?

  • Save from a minimum of £1,000 to a maximum of £125,000.
  • Your savings are fully protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
  • Once you open your plan and make your payment, Shepherds Friendly take care of the rest.
  • Sit back and relax, knowing that your money is growing.
  • Five years later, withdraw your money, plus the full amount of interest you have earned.

So simple!

Remember: You will have to commit to saving a lump sum for 5 years to receive the full interest, so you may wish to only save money you won’t need to withdraw in the short term.
