Im still conflicted if I should open chip
3.4% is a great pull. Though im worried about the speed of transactions. This is what I found on one of the review websites
if money takes 2 days to reach its intended account from Chip, then higher interest rate advantage is just wiped off
Im still reading through threads here on chip, not able to find all the information i need.How do you withdraw your money?
It’s easy to withdraw your money, with just a few clicks in the app to send the money to your conneted account. The speed depends on the account.
Sadly it isn’t instant for the easy access account. It’ll take two working days to reach your current account, though if you submit the withdrawal before 11am, it’ll move the next day.
Bear in mind that deposits take three working days to clear. So if you just put some money into the account and go to withdraw it on the same day, you’re looking at five working days. If that’s over a weekend you’ll need to add two days on top.

In my experience all withdrawals and deposits are instant, unless you deposit by debit card.2

All of my deposits and withdrawals have been near instantaneous so far (or at least, as long as it takes to close one app and open the other one)2

What is this?! Who are your quoting? This guy? I'm new to Chip, but I've never heard of any 5%, "two working days to reach your current account" and "three working days to clear".If you make the withdrawal before 5:00pm Monday to Friday, you should receive the money in your connected bank account the same day.

Rather than routing round the Internet to find articles that may or may not be helpful, can I suggest you make some small test transactions to see for yourself how it works, and whether the account is for you. I believe the minimum deposit for the CHIP instant access saver is £1.0 -

BTW I'd really avoid using Trustpilot to make any financial decisions. London Capital & Finance had 5* reviews on there before they went bust because the people posting had no clue on the risks they were taking.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.1
