About Chip
Chip is an automatic savings and investing app that uses AI to calculate an affordable amount that can be saved automatically without impacting your day-to-day life. Chip offers 3 savings accounts, including a Cash ISA, an Instant Access account or a Prize Savings account. Chip analyses spending through AI, accessing historical spending through Open Banking. Chip is compatible with most UK bank accounts and is regulated by the FCA. Whilst Chip is not a bank, it is FSCS protected as Chip’s savings accounts are provided by UK-authorised ClearBank Ltd. Chip is free to download but the autosave feature will cost 45p per autosave as well as 25p per recurring save.
