Can a grandparent open a Junior ISA?


No, unless they are the legal guardian of the child.

A grandparent or other relative can gift money into a child’s Junior ISA. Gifting money can only be done by debit card. Once the invested money has arrived in the Junior ISA account, the money can be invested manually by the registered contact, usually a parent or legal guardian.
