Child Trust Fund

what will yours grow into?

There are two types of Child Trust Fund (CTF); a cash fund where the money is held in a traditional building society account or an equity stakeholder fund where the money is held in a unit trust.

Nationwide offers both of these types of account. To open a CTF account you must choose either cash or equity stakeholder CTF. The equity CTF we offer is provided by Legal & General.

For more information check out the What is a CTF? page or read the Key features document.
