Junior stocks and shares ISA investment app Beanstalk has rolled out fresh updates to improve how parents and grandparents track their savings and investments, while also adding more ways to top up Junior ISAs.
The most notable development is the addition of Account Performance Charts, which give users a clearer picture of how their investment ISA and JISA balances have grown over time.
This builds on recent changes to the account summary tab and reflects a broader trend across investment platforms to provide more accessible, user-friendly performance data. Rival apps such as Moneybox and Nutmeg already offer visual portfolio tracking, so Beanstalk’s move helps bring it in line with expectations for modern digital investing tools.
Alongside the new charts, Beanstalk has expanded its cashback programme, which allows families to boost their children’s savings when shopping online. The latest offer highlights up to 30% cashback on travel and holiday bookings, with current featured rates including an increased deal at M&S. Cashback is automatically paid into a child’s Beanstalk account, making it a simple way for parents to add to long-term savings without extra effort.
As ever, Beanstalk reminds customers that investments carry risk and account values can go up or down. But by combining investment growth with cashback rewards, the app is positioning itself as both a savings tool and a spending companion, an approach that may appeal to cost-conscious parents looking to build a financial buffer for their children’s future.
