SAVING JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT SMARTER
Ditch the hassle & beat the high street with Octopus Cash
Octopus Cash is a one-year fixed-term savings account with a difference...
We work with smaller banks that offer some of the best savings rates around.
Say goodbye to switching. Get set up in seconds and start beating the high street.*
We spread your money across several banks to give you even greater FSCS protection.
We’ll spread your money across our partner banks to give you a better rate, while making sure your cash is protected by the FSCS.
You can currently deposit up to £255,000 and still enjoy complete FSCS cover. You can even save more, it just won’t be all covered. Here is how it works:
- Saving less than £85,000? We’ll deposit it all with the bank paying the best rate
- More than £85,000? We deposit it in chunks of £85,000 from highest to lowest rate
- More than £255,000? You can still save above your FSCS limit if you choose
- And the admin? Forget talking to lots of different banks – one account with us is all you need
- FSCS covered? You bet – provided you aren’t saving with our partners already
- For how long? We’re currently offering a one-year fixed account
- What happens after a year? Continue with the best new rate or withdraw
