Child Trust Fund applications

To apply for the Tesco Child Trust Fund you must:

• be over 16 years of age or over
• have parental responsibility for the child named on the voucher (i.e. be receiving child benefit for that child.)
• be the registered contact for the Child Trust Fund.
• hold a Child Trust Fund voucher from the Government for your child
• your child must be living in the UK and not subject to immigration control

Important: During the application process you'll need

• To read the Child Trust Fund Key Features Document carefully before completing your application form.
• Your child's voucher
• Your bank account details (if you want to make regular payments)

Your funds are largely invested in the stock market. However, unlike a deposit account, the value of the investment in the Tesco Child Trust Fund can fall as well as rise, and profits are not guaranteed.
