Monzo savings review
Spending money is more fun than saving it, but Monzo is great for squirrelling away a few quid each month without thinking about it too much.

After becoming one of the most popular UK challenger banks offering digital only-current accounts, Monzo created a savings marketplace to offer customers the ability to save money via a selection of third-party banks and a range of Monzo’s own accounts.
However, in early 2025, Monzo stopped offering its external savings and you can now only open savings pots with Monzo itself.

How we picked theseIf you have a current account with Monzo and are looking to open a separate account for your savings, you have 2 main options:
The rates on Savings Pots are fairly competitive, but there are better rates available in the market. If you already bank with Monzo and want to keep all your finances in the same place, this can be a good option.
Monzo currently only offers instant access savings accounts and cash ISAs. It previously also offered easy access accounts, where withdrawals took a little longer but rates were slightly higher, and fixed term savings accounts – but these were discontinued in March 2025.
Apart from opening a savings account, you can also use the Monzo app to organise your spending and get it to save some money for you automatically. Useful features include:

If you’re always on the hunt for the very best interest rate and are perfectly aware of your spending and savings patterns, Monzo is competitive but not the best available on the market. However, let’s face it, most of us aren’t like that.
We want to save, but we also don’t want to think about it too much or waste time comparing a million options. If that sounds more like you, Monzo is a good shout. It offers appealing rates and useful tools that make budgeting and saving less painful and more fun. However, the choice of accounts is now much more limited.
Finally, if you already have a Monzo current account, opening a savings account too is an effortless and quick process and you can go from not earning anything on your Pot to getting a nice rate on your Savings Pot in a few seconds.
