By doing your research and choosing a savings account that meets your needs, you can build a strong financial foundation and reach your savings goals more quickly. Make sure you take the following things into account when choosing the right savings account for you:
Consider what you’re saving for and choose an account that aligns with your specific goal. For example, for a short-term goal, look for an account with a high interest rate and no minimum balance requirement.
Work out how often you’ll need to access your savings and what access options you prefer. For example, all Chip savings account are available and accessible via our savings app only.
Determine how much you want to save and ensure the account you choose has features that align with your desired savings amount, such as high interest rates or additional incentives.
Look for accounts with additional features and benefits such as a mobile savings app that help you manage your savings more effectively by track your savings progress and goals.
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.

We’ve made it easy to start building wealth with our savings accounts. There’s no forms or fuss and you can get started in just a few minutes.

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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
