How does a child account work?

A child account is held in your child’s name and managed by you until they turn 18. At that point, control transfers to them. You can open one account per child, and Amdax records gifts made to the account.

Open an account
  1. As a parent, open a personal Amdax account.
  2. Complete the child account application form.
  3. We review your application and open the child account.
  4. If we need additional documents, we’ll contact you.

Please note: Investing in crypto assets involves risks. Prices are volatile and you could lose your investment. Invest responsibly and stay informed about the risks.
