Frequently asked questions
Can the 4.18% interest rate change?
Yes, the 4.18% AER interest rate is variable so it can go up or down. If the rate goes down, GoHenry will email you 14 days beforehand at the email address connected to your account.
How do I open and manage my account?
You can open your child’s GoHenry account here, and manage everything through your parent app. Remember, to activate interest savings you’ll need a Plus or Max membership—you can upgrade at any time in-app.
Can my child withdraw money?
Your child can withdraw money from their savings at any time. If you want to remove the temptation you can lock a savings goal using your parent app. Your child can only withdraw money from their Junior ISA once they turn 18.
How do kids and teens set saving goals within the GoHenry app?
GoHenry encourages kids and teens to easily create in-app savings goals, helping to make saving a habit. Using their app, kids can:
- Name their new goal
- Choose an image for their goal
- Set a target amount (if they have one)
- Add a target date (if they have one)
- Turn on an optional weekly autosave
Is there a limit to how much my child can spend on their card?
GoHenry has a default spend limit of £60 per week and £30 per single spend, but you can set your own limits when you activate your child’s card. Limits can be changed anytime in your parent app, up to a maximum daily spend limit of £4,000.
Can I lock my child’s savings?
You can lock any of your child’s savings goals in your GoHenry app. This prevents them from withdrawing any money from it unless you choose to unlock it, helping them to create a habit of saving without any temptation.
What is the parent-paid interest rate?
With GoHenry you can set up parent-paid interest on your child’s account.
Simply set your chosen interest rate in the parent app, and they’ll get paid interest on their savings once per month—the more they save, the more they’ll earn.
Plus and Max members can also earn 4.18% AER (variable) interest when they activate their child’s interest savings account.
How can I turn on parent-paid interest in the app?
To turn on parent-paid interest:
- Log in to the GoHenry parent account
- Open the ‘Money’ tab and select ‘Savings’
- Use the interest calculator to decide the rate you want to set. It will show you how much you might pay each month according to a daily calculation.
- You can adjust the rate in-app at any time
