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.
To date, Chup's users have collectively saved over £800M, showcasing the product's popularity. The enthusiasm for Chip is evident, having raised a total of £43.5M with over 27.5k shareholders.
The company has bolstered its team with strong hires from notable organisations such as Purplebricks, Deposit Solutions, Barclays, Funding Circle, and Monzo, positioning Chip for significant growth. However, the challenge lies in remaining relevant amid a competitive landscape of savings and investment accounts. To address this, Chip continuously innovates its investment product to help users effectively build wealth.
