Great from the start and still getting better
I was an early adopter of Beanstalk and have since seen it grow and mature. A lot like my kids JISAs. The cashback offers have developed and fund performance is great to check in on regularly. I’ve had no reason to look anywhere else to save for my kids future. I even opened my own account.
Nifty junior ISA
set up an junior ISA for my son and I absolutely love that it’s all easy to access on the app. If anyone wants to gift him some cash, it’s a simple case of inviting them to his pot via email and it’s so easy to follow!
Easy saving
I love this app. I have a junior ISA for my daughter and an ISA for myself. I also save for my niece. It is easy and lots of tools to make you save as little as often. I can control everything with click of a button.
Grady’s nest egg
My daughter opened a beanstalk junior isa for my little grandson
Smooth process now all our family can help a little to hopefully make a lot
Brilliant now all my little beans have an account
great returns
It is an easy to use app, and I love that its linked to Kidstart as I have received money for doing nothing. I have used it for both my children with grate results.
Saving for their future
I pay in 3 JISAs regularly for my grandchildren. I love knowing that they will have a nice nest egg when they reach 18.
The interface is simple and adding money is straightforward. Returns are comparable to my ISA
I am really glad we did the research and opened their accounts
Good app
Easy access. Like the round ups. My son can watch his pot increasing and make sensible plans. Good that others can also contribute. No complaints!
Beanstalk
It’s a fantastic way to save for my little one. We are all proud, especially my daughter, who keeps saying she has more money than all of us. The best part is that once the money goes in, it can’t be touched. The link for her birthday was great too; instead of receiving presents that she quickly gets bored of after opening, this year she got to save.
Great app and children’s accounts
Really pleased with the children’s accounts I have. Really easy to top up and monitor them through the app.
A very useful and considerate service
I recently came into possession of my child ISA and the beanstalk team was very helpful and quick to transfer control over to me. I was impressed by how much my account had accumulated due to their investments and I think it would be an excellent tool for any parent to give their child a good head start in life.
