Having a child is extremely expensive but millions of children across the country could potentially have up to &1,000 in their bank without knowing it.
The Hull Daily Mail reports that children between seven and 15 could have up to &1,000 in a Child Trust Fund from the Government that has been forgotten.
The fund was introduced by the previous labour government before 2010 and it gifted children &250 when they were born and a further &250 when they turned seven.
Low income families also received double payments from the Government, which means they could have &1,000 stashed away in their child's name.
