Chip

The Chip app uses artificial intelligence to analyse your spending and save a small amount of money each week.

Chip is putting an end to ‘boring’ saving habits like putting aside a set amount of money each month just for the sake of it, instead, Chip wants you to focus on saving for something you really want to buy, e.g. booking a holiday or saving for a wedding.

The clever part is that Chip uses AI to analyse your spending and make relevant savings for you and, crucially, put aside the right amount of money in response to the reality of your everyday spending habits.

By automatically calculating how much you can afford to save each week, Chip is turning the UK into a nation of savvy savers without them even realising it.
