[Off Topic] Setting up bank accounts for relations

[samebb]

Hi there!

 

I was not sure where to post this,

but as this forum has been useful to me in the past with personal matters

I was hoping there would be a person here to help me with a current problem I have.

 

 

Google couldn't help me, so .... Hopefully the kind people here can.

 

When my grandmother died,

she left me a sum of money in a Post Office account.

She paid into it all the time and when I turned 25 the money was mine..

 

===

 

Now, I don't have children, and I wont have.

What I do have is two cousins who are the best part of my life.

I wan't them to have an great future and I would like to help.

They are still young.

 

As hard as I have tried,

I cannot find a way to setup an account like my grandmother had for me, for my cousins.

I want to setup accounts for both of them and pay money into it on a regular basis.

 

 

I wan't to keep paying into it till they are ready for University, and hopefully give them a sum on money to help them with their education and achieve a good start in life.

 

Am I being stupid here and simply missing a keyword in seaches for these services or do they simply not exist anymore?

 

If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

I am fearful that due to the rise in criminal activity involving financial activity such services have been stopped and that would be a great shame.

 

Thank you for your time.

Hello and welcome to CAG. All the banks seem to do children's savings accounts. Here's some information from the Money Advice Service.
