Quick answer

Zopa could suit you if you want savings pots in one app — including a Limited Access pot paying 4.56% AER for new customers — or a free Biscuit current account where you pick extra interest or cashback. Watch the withdrawal limits and the 12-month bonus.

Who it’s for

  • You want several savings pots in one app
  • You rarely withdraw and can use the Limited Access pot
  • You’d use 3% cashback on bills or eating out, or 2.75% balance interest

Who should skip it

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

  • You need branches
  • You make frequent withdrawals from savings

Full explanation

Compare the rate after the bonus ends (3.50% AER on the Limited Access pot as of 4 October 2026) with other accounts, not just the headline.

The catch

The 4.56% Limited Access rate includes a 1.06% bonus for 12 months on the first £50,000.
