Can anyone open a childrens account?

probably a stupid question?!?!?

obviously childrens accounts paying higher rates are an attractive proposition but can anyone open one in a childs name?

what's the criteria?

do you have to be a relation?

    If they are your savings then what you propose is an unlawful attempt to defraud the Revenue and other taxpayers.

    Actually children's accounts have not been paying the best rates for some time.
