    Hi everyone, I'd like to join if that's OK? Does a roundup account work aswell, one that transfers automatically if you spend £1.99 the 1p goes over? I can also manually transfer over my "excess" at the end of the week/month as a manual round up so I'm going to give myself a target of £365, £1 a day, opening on the 31st Dec 2023 already 2 days behind haha
    Hi Kirsten1985

    a round up account will work, whatever works for you; it's all savings after all.

    Your number is #11
