Switching from the Youth Leap Account to the Youth Future Savings Account: Why You Should Not Close Your Existing Account First and the November Application Process
Youth Leap Account holders who completed the 2 round of Youth Future Savings Account applications in October 2026 should not close their existing accounts first. They should confirm their eligibility for the Youth Future Savings Account before proceeding with the switch. The transition process for both products can be completed during the November account-opening period, from 16 to 27. To retain existing government contributions and tax-exempt benefits, account holders must complete a special early termination through the prescribed procedure.
