Our take
Chips offers a free app designed to make saving as easy as spending. Utilising an AI-driven system, the app calculates how much users could save, provides an option to decline, and automatically transfers the selected amount to the user's Chip account, streamlining the saving process.
Chip's popularity has seen some pretty rapid growth too, with users collectively saving more than £800M through the platform. Recently, the company completed a £6M funding round at a valuation of approximately £208M, backed by Channel 5 Ventures alongside its large base of retail investors. Since launching, Chip has raised around £48M through crowdfunding, with nearly 30% of the business owned by everyday investors.
Alongside its funding success, Chip has continued to refine its platform with automated savings tools, tailored investment portfolios, and educational features designed to make wealth-building more accessible. With this fresh capital and growing brand visibility, the company is most certainly going to be a serious force in the increasingly competitive digital wealth management market.
