Junior Accounts
Junior accounts are available for children up to the age of 16. The joining procedure is similar to Senior accounts. We need a form completed to give personal details, along with identification.
ID for a junior member will be quite different so we will accept a birth certificate for infants or for older children perhaps a copy of their passport.
Only a parent/legal guardian can open an account for their child until their 7th birthday. Any junior member aged 7 and older, MUST sign their own joining form and any withdrawals.
