A Youth Account that kick-starts your child's financial future

Transact, withdraw, access
The Investec Youth Account is a separate transactional account in your child’s name and comes with an internationally accepted Visa debit card embossed with their name. It offers unlimited free card transactions, free cash withdrawals at till points of select retailers and complimentary access to SAA departure lounges in SA. It also offers basic travel insurance when buying international travel tickets using the Visa card.

Complimentary savings account
To teach children about the importance of saving, a PrimeSaver savings account is automatically opened with the Youth Account. With no monthly fee, this instant-access savings account is one of the best in the market, offering a premium prime-linked interest rate. There is no minimum balance requirement.
