Our take
Cash deposit marketplaces handle savings on behalf of their clients. Instead of large lump sums floundering in low savings accounts, they help clients deposit these funds in or across the best interest-bearing deposit accounts, with the potential to make significant passive income.
There’s a growing appetite for them, and over the past decade Flagstone has quietly emerged as the UK market leader. Flagstone services individuals, charities, and businesses looking to spread their savings across any of 47 different UK banks, including institutions like Coutts and newer players like Revolut.
In the last 3 years, the company has ramped up its competitive edge, too. In 2021, Flagstone dropped its minimum required personal deposit from £250k to £50k to fall in line with high-end competitor Insignis Cash Solutions. Plus, in 2022, it began selling its product internationally.
The international market may prove trickier for Flagstone to crack - UK competitor Raisin has a strong pan-European market presence and already commands high levels of funding. Furthermore, it has a lower minimum required deposit than Flagstone. Nevertheless, there’s space for Flagstone to carve out its own niche if it focuses on organisations and wealthier clientele.
