When you’re deciding on a home for your savings, there are a few things you need to consider before you open a new savings account. Think about what you want to achieve and how you want to get there.
Consider what you're saving for and how you want to get to your specific goal. For example a short-term goal such as a holiday requires a different strategy to your long-term goals, such as retirement. Choose a savings account to reflect that.
If you’re saving for something like an emergency fund, it’s important to go for a savings account that gives you immediate access to your money. If your goal is in the future than a notice account allows you to lock some money away and avoid the temptation to spend.
Some easy-access accounts offer a competitive rate, but only allow a set amount of withdrawals per year for you to keep it. With our Chip Instant Access Account, there no penalties or reduction in your interest rate for withdrawing.
When choosing a savings account you want the peace of mind that your money is protected should the worst happen. Check that your savings account is guaranteed by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). All Chip savings accounts are covered by the FSCS (subject to eligibility).
All our savings accounts work with our Savings Plans, so you can automatically build your savings without thinking about it. Our savings app is designed to help build your wealth.
You can use both our award-winning Auto-Saving technology and our new Recurring Saves feature to build fully customised savings plans. Charges may apply - read more on our pricing page.

This is simply a percentage rate that shows how much you’ll earn once compounding (earning interest on interest) is taken into account.
Banks might offer an account with a fixed interest rate, or a variable interest rate that they can change at their discretion.
The advantage of a fixed rate is obviously it won’t change, but you can't withdraw until the fixed term has ended. You should only open a Fixed Term Account when you have enough money to cover emergencies in an instant access account.
A bank can change a variable rate whenever they want (usually with a month’s notice).
We pool your money with all Chip customers, so we negotiate with banks on your behalf, effectively enabling you to be treated like someone with hundreds of millions in the bank. Only for Flagstone products.
Savings interest rates broadly follow the Bank of England’s Base Rate of Interest, which is a rate the UK’s central bank moves to influence the economy.
Generally when inflation is low and they want to stimulate the economy, the rate is lower, when inflation is high and they want to slow it down, the rate is higher.
But savings rates are also influenced by the market and banks competing with each other for customers.
