On the ‘Savings’ tab of your Chip app, you can choose from a range of savings accounts offering great interests rates and big prizes.

Start saving!

Make your first deposit via bank transfer, from your Chip savings accounts, debit card or Apple/Google pay and that’s it. Your savings account is open!

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.

What is the best savings interest rate?

Short answer: it depends. Obviously the higher the rate the better. But interest rates vary between different accounts. Learn more about interest rates.

If your savings are just sitting in your bank account, chances are they’re earning 0.1% interest. You deserve better.

At Chip we’re always fighting to bring you the best rates and our team directly negotiates with banks so you don’t have to. Sit back and let our savings app do the work for you.

Savings interest rates are measured in AER (Annual Equivalent Rate)

This is simply a percentage rate that shows how much you’ll earn once compounding (earning interest on interest) is taken into account. 

Compounding interest or fixed bonus rates?

Compounding interest rates are generally better than fixed bonuses. With compound interest you earn interest on interest, with fixed bonuses you only get paid interest on the money you deposit into the account.

Variable or fixed savings rates?

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 banks often put some restrictions on withdrawals on accounts with fixed rate.

Whilst a bank can change a variable rate whenever they want (usually with a month’s notice), it means your rate can go up as well as down.

How does Chip fight to get the best interest rate?

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. 

Why do savings rates change?

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.
