Is Chase right for me?

Important: This guide provides general information, not personalised financial advice. Financial products, rates and eligibility rules can change, so check the provider’s current terms before applying. You can check a firm’s details on the FCA Register.

Quick answer

Chase could suit you if you spend around £1,000 a month on everyday categories by card and can keep £1,000 in a Chase saver. If you can’t meet those conditions each month, the cashback falls away.

Who it’s for

  • You can make 15+ card or Direct Debit payments a month
  • You can keep £1,000+ in Chase savers every day
  • You want a regular saver for up to £300 a month

Who should skip it

These are general points to weigh up, not advice. You may want to look elsewhere if:

  • You need a business account

  • You want branches

Full explanation

Add up your monthly spending on groceries, eating out, transport and fuel. At 2%, you’d need £1,000 of eligible spending to reach the £20 cap.

Our cashback calculator can help you estimate it.

The catch

Cashback is capped at £20 a month and limited to eligible categories.

FAQs

Do Direct Debits earn Chase cashback?

No. They count towards the 15 payments but don’t earn cashback.

Is there a grace period?

Yes. New customers get cashback for the rest of their first month and the following month without meeting the conditions.
