Summary
Chip is a savings and investment app for Android and iOS, bringing savings accounts and investment products together to help customers build long-term wealth. It offers savings accounts, a Smart Cash ISA, a Stocks & Shares ISA, a General Investment Account and a personal pension. Customers can set goals with target amounts and dates, then allocate existing savings to them. Chip can use income and spending patterns to estimate what a customer can save and transfer money automatically; each autosave costs 45p unless the customer has ChipX. Chip connects current accounts through TrueLayer and Open Banking, with permissions re-authenticated every 90 days, according to Chip. Basic is free, with autosaves at 45p each and a 0.25% investment platform fee. ChipX costs £5.99 every 28 days and includes unlimited autosaves and no platform fees. Eligible ClearBank savings deposits may qualify for FSCS protection up to £120,000 across ClearBank accounts, subject to eligibility; eligible investment claims may qualify up to £85,000, excluding investment performance. Chip says it is not a bank and offers no branches, debit cards, ATM access or financial advice.
Who it is for
Chip suits people who want savings goals and investment products managed through one app. It may also suit customers who want automatic saving, provided they account for the 45p charge per autosave on Basic.
