Why Chip Instant Access?

The Bank of England base rate is rising and the banks are seeing the benefits - but why aren’t you?
We have a solution - At Chip we’re not waiting around for the banks to raise interest rates.  We’re doing things our own way and giving you a 3.40% AER on your deposits right now.

Invest in whisky

You can't really sell a decent single malt until it's at least 12 years old. And typically the longer whisky matures, the more valuable it gets. So as it matures, so could your investments.

Coming soon

Better returns today,
not tomorrow.

We’re seeing rates for savers getting better but many banks on the high street aren’t passing them on. We think you deserve better.

We keep our eyes on the Bank of England.

High street banks are slow, relying on factors like lending to decide your returns - we don’t - so can be more reactive when the base rate changes.

Award winning
auto-saving tools.

Use our clever award-winning AI to effortlessly set up recurring deposits. Sit back and watch your money grow.

We’re trusted by over half a million people building real wealth.

What is the Chip Instant Access account? (powered by ClearBank)

Our new Chip Instant Access account is an instant-access savings account paying a 3.40% AER on your deposited funds which is paid monthly. All with full FSCS protection on your deposits (subject to eligibility).

Is the account free?

Yes. There are no fees or charges for holding this account. Please see our pricing page for general fee information     

How does the interest work and when is it paid?

We calculate your interest daily and pay it monthly (on the 4th working day of the month), and we show the interest rate as AER.

AER is the rate of interest you earn on any balance above £0 in the Chip Instant Access Account. It stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows the interest rate for a year, and reflects compounding (earning interest on interest), taking into account any interest payments made to you during the year.

With a 3.40% AER interest rate, if you put in £1,000 on your first day, you'd earn £34.00 in interest over the year. If nothing changes (including the interest rate), you'd have £1,034.00 at the end of the year. There is no minimum deposit for interest to begin accruing.

AER enables you to compare the interest rates on accounts from different banks and building societies where interest may be calculated or paid at different frequencies.

But there is also a gross interest rate, which is the rate you’ll earn before compounding is reflected. UK bank interest is paid gross. For example if AER is 3.40%, the gross interest rate is 3.35%.

Is the account Can the interest rate change?

Yes, the Chip Instant Access Account rate is variable. That means we can change it up or down at our discretion.

You’ll have likely seen that we aim to follow movements from the Bank of England base rate of interest, but we’ll also take the easy-access savings market into consideration too, in order to ensure Chip customers always get a fair rate of interest.

Should Chip set a date to lower the interest rate, you will be given a minimum of 14 days’ notice. You may receive less notice if the rate increases.  

Interest and FSCS

The eligible balance of your account attracts Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protection up to £85,000, which also includes the interest accredited to the account each month.

Can I autosave into this account?

Yes, you can autosave directly into this account (Savings Plans settings can be found on the profile tab) and also perform manual saves at any time should you wish by selecting the account in the savings tab and tapping ‘deposit’. Saves into this account also count toward your in-app savings goals that you can set up in the ‘Goals’ tab. Please see our pricing plan page for further information.

Can I open a Chip Instant Access Account on behalf of someone else? / Power of Attorney 

You can open and manage any savings account in Chip on behalf of someone else, but you will need Power of Attorney over the account holder’s financial affairs. 

In order to set up or manage an account for someone using Power of Attorney you will need to talk to our customer support team via in-app chat or by emailing hello@getchip.uk 

The team will walk you through the process, but they will ask for a few documents to prove you have Power of Attorney:

- An ID document of both you (the person acting as Attorney) and the account holder
- A proof of address for you (the person acting as Attorney)
- A Lasting Power of Attorney document (LPA) for Property and Financial Affairs

How to be eligible for the bonus

When does this offer end?

You must be a new customer to Chip, enter your promo code in the Profile tab of the app and save cumulatively at least £5,000 before this date.
