Child Savings Bonds
The Child Bond from Scottish Friendly allows you to save for your child's future for 10 years or more without having to pay income tax or capital gains tax on your savings.

Scottish Friendly's Child Bond gives you the piece of mind of knowing you'll have a guaranteed minimum cash sum at the end of the payment term.
Your bond might well grow from your original investment but in these uncertain times it's comforting to know it will never drop below the guaranteed amount. Read more...
