    can anyone recommend a regular savings account for children?
    want to set up 2 for my kids whereby I pay by standing order each month.
    dont need regular access as they wont be getting money till they are 18 :D
    so i guess the one with the best interest rate.
    currently have a URFIRST ULSTER BANK one for the eldest child but that will soon be closed.....
    post office was my first thought but they dont accept standing orders !!!
