Hi,
I downloaded the app but am really hesitant (I have a cautious nature!) about doing anything with it. Anyone else got reservations, how do we withdraw money and do we have to have a certain amount in for a certain time. I just can't find the answers?

They are very active on Twitter if you want to ask them any questions :)

There's a few bloggers promoting Chip at the moment, this one popped into my email today and answered a lot of my questions about it:


I've gone for it, Its only take £6 for my first save which is fine, I was worried about it squirrelling too much and me going overdrawn!

I've installed it too, very impressed so far-really easy to use and I can see how savings would mount up quickly! It only took £7 for my first one.

Great to see you've taken the leap and joined up to Chip!

Hope it brings you lots of money you never knew you had!

I've been using it for a while now (long before the £10 sign up promo) and I love it.
In settings you can select whether or not you want to allow Chip to save when you're in your overdraft, and also your savings level (so whether you want to save a small amount (1) or go for larger saves (5)). Mine is set at 3 currently. Withdrawal is really easy, I think it takes about 48 hours and it goes straight back into your account.

They're FCA regulated and your savings are held with Barclays.

Hope that helps :)

I've taken advantage of the TMS offer and joined x Initial impression : easy to use, app is fast and feels secure.

I've also joined up to this yesterday, although I'm not entirely sure how it works I'll give it a month or two and see lol

You will be credited your £10 welcome bonus 30 days after your second auto-save.

Ok, I need to find the way to stop withdrawal from my account when needed- it saved a bit aggressively for me although my setting is level 3.

If you feel the algorithm is calculating saves a little high go into in your saves and adjusting your 'saves level' down, you also have the option to 'skip automatic saves' for a time.

Opened my chip account

Update: 1st auto save: £7.53
2nd auto save: £15.74 - A bit aggressive. I was expecting similar amount to my 1st auto save amount
Total auto saved: £23.27

Awaiting my £10 sign up bonus next month. :)
