In their own words
Chip
Chip is a savings and investment app for Android and iOS, bringing savings accounts and investment funds together for people building long-term wealth. Customers can create goals with target amounts and dates, then assign existing savings to them. The app can analyse income and spending to estimate what a customer can save and move money automatically. Each autosave costs 45p unless the customer has ChipX. Available products include savings accounts, a Smart Cash ISA, a Stocks & Shares ISA, a General Investment Account and a personal pension. Chip connects current accounts through TrueLayer and an Open Banking API; Chip says permissions are re-authenticated every 90 days. Basic is free, with autosaves at 45p each and a 0.25% annual investment platform fee. ChipX costs £5.99 every 28 days and includes unlimited autosaves and no platform fees. Eligible ClearBank savings deposits may receive FSCS protection up to £120,000 across ClearBank accounts, subject to eligibility. Eligible investment claims may qualify for up to £85,000, excluding investment performance.
