Savings and investment app Chip has struck a deal with banking-as-a-service provider ClearBank to provide users with FSCS-protected accounts and the ability to deposit and withdraw funds in real-time.
FSCS protection is critical to bolstering consumer trust, with Government research showing 81% of consumers are more confident in their financial decisions knowing their money is FSCS protected.
“We needed a banking partner to improve our offering with better security, a seamless customer experience, and provide a springboard for our expansion into the rest of Europe,” says Simon Rabin, CEO of Chip. “We found this, and more, in ClearBank.”
Charles McManus, CEO of ClearBank, adds: “We are entering the era of embedded banking, where pioneering firms like Chip want to integrate innovative banking services without the cost and complexity of becoming a bank. Chip is ClearBank’s first consumer facing BaaS customer and we’re proud to be able to support their growth and ambition.”
