Love Beanstalk

4th December 2024

Absolutely love beanstalk. You can give your family links too so they are also able to contribute to JISA’s and with each contribution, family members are able to write a little message to your kids so they can look back and see all the messages.

Easy enough to understand. Great being able to adjust level of risk wanted.

Easy to invite others to be able to contribute. Also love the kick-start where u can get cashback with purchases that get added to the fund. Been using for a year now funds building up nicely

Makes saving fun

26th November 2024

Have 3 accounts for my children which also asked family and friends to contribute. The ease at which you can review the accounts is a huge bonus over previous accounts used. Also being able to link Kidstart helps save money when spending.

Simplifying the Complex

26th November 2024

Beanstalk is amazing! We set up the JISA with Beanstalk for our Son whilst he was in the full throes of Newborn life. We wanted something simple but that had a full gamut of useful features and Beanstalk fit the bill perfectly. Information is simply presented, you can activate several useful features such as payment round-ups very easily. It is also super simple to amend how much you save and to send links to family members who would also like to contribute. All round this platform is brilliant to use!

Great overall!

10th November 2024

I have been with beanstalk for a while 7-8 years and all is doing great, 4 accounts for my kids, every little amount and penny earn from online shopping kidstarts goes their account equally so easy to top up whenever they have monetary gift on top of regular contribution. I highly recommended it my family and friends.

Brilliant way to save for the grandchildren

2nd November 2024

I’m so glad I found Beanstalk – it’s an easy way to save for my grandchildren. The app is great and easy to use. You can also share links with family and friends so that they can add to the savings too, especially on those special occasions like birthdays and Christmas. It’s amazing how quickly the savings grow from my small monthly payment. Great app and great customer service.

Great way to save for your children

30th October 2024

Beanstalk gives you a variety of ways to save for your child/children and allows you to share links with family and friends in order to contribute into their savings pot. They often do giveaways for winning extra money into their account. Great app and worth using.

User friendly app

28th October 2024

I’ve been using beanstalk for a few years now after transferring due to lack of transparency with our last JISA. I’m so glad I did as their app is much more user friendly and you can easily jump to the sections you require. More importantly, the product performance seem to be better too. I can’t recommend beanstalk highly enough.

Great

28th October 2024

As someone careful about where I invest my money, there are a few key things I prioritise: an intuitive app, accessible and friendly support, and a clear understanding of the benefits on offer. Beanstalk ticks every box, making it a standout choice for anyone looking to take control of their finances with confidence.

The app itself is brilliantly designed—simple enough for beginners yet packed with enough features for those with more experience. Navigating through it feels seamless, and the layout makes everything easy to understand, which is essential when dealing with finances. No one wants to waste time trying to figure out where things are or what they mean, and Beanstalk eliminates that hassle entirely.

The support team is another high point. They’re genuinely helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. Whenever I’ve had a question, they’ve been on hand with clear and considerate answers. That kind of support gives you peace of mind, especially when dealing with investments.

Finally, Beanstalk is transparent about the benefits it offers. It’s refreshing to see straightforward explanations of how each feature can help you grow your investments, without the usual financial jargon that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

In short, Beanstalk has created an investment experience that’s both approachable and effective. It’s exactly what I was looking for, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a dependable, user-friendly platform to manage their money.

The Best Junior ISA

27th October 2024

When I was setting up my daughter ISA, after doing my research I found this to be the clearest and easiest to use for her. The app is easy to use and keep track of earnings against contributions. There is also the opportunity to link your Kidstart app to earn more. Fully recommend this junior ISA product.

Felicity Marsh

Glad I found Beanstalk

27th October 2024

Started to use this app because my child’s junior ISA was not growing the way I wanted it to. She is now 18 and has continued to use Beanstalk as her ISA provider. Great company doing great things. Would definitely recommend.

Beanstalk has won “Best Junior Stocks and Shares ISA” in our 2024, 2023 and 2022 awards. They offer one of the easiest ways to invest for your children and you can quickly move money between cash and the stock market to manage the amount of risk/reward you want to take.

We rate Beanstalk as a very good investing app for junior stocks and shares ISAs. In fact, it’s so good that it won our best JISA award two years in a row and I use it to invest for my son. Beanstalk also received very good feed back in our provider surveys with a customer rating of 4.9 from over 200 reviews.
