US persons: held to 80% loan to value without indefinite leave, and no dollar salary

Citizenship is not the test, but the deposit is. Non-EEA applicants are held to 80% loan to value unless an underwriter agrees otherwise, need two years living here and either indefinite leave to remain or a skilled worker visa with three months to run, and a salary paid in any currency other than sterling is refused.

US persons: the child must be a UK resident with indefinite leave to remain in the UK

The Junior ISA terms set no US test, but the general savings terms that govern it require every account holder to be a UK resident with indefinite leave to remain, an immigration test that a US child here on a visa would fail. Branch only.
