I don’t know about this account specifically, but I have opened many children’s accounts in the past. They all required child’s ID. Even with mainstream banks (Santander, Halifax etc.) where you can normally open savings accounts online, these accounts were branch only because they want to see child’s ID. I don’t think you will be able to open children’s account for a child that doesn’t exist.

There were two versions of the Teachers B.Soc regular saver. One with better rates for teachers only. The other with slightly lower rates was freely open to anyone to apply for: there was no need to have any connection with the teaching profesison to have this account:

All seems like a lot of hassle for a small gain over 12 months period, about 6 quid versus a widely available instant access account. Some might think it worth the effort I guess...

Just tried on android. At first it came up with a message, something is wrong, contact us. I tried again and managed to get in, but it seemed to be stuck on pin for quite a time.

Working just fine here on Android.

My Zopa regular saver has matured today, but I don't have any options in the app to open a new one. I can only open a new access pot, or a longer-term fixed savings account.

The help robot is, predictably, no help - has the product been withdrawn? There is a page on their website about it, but in the help categories, there's no reference to it at all as a product you can get help with.

The recent update to the app has made things much more complicated so it may be the case they've hidden it somewhere daft.

Look under Benefits on the home screen - I had to ask them where to find it last week!

Every time I login it the app asks for a PIN code and then tells me 'thanks for registering a new device' - IOS. Just annoying, I'll probably phone them at some point.
