Why choose Raisin UK?

Your money journey

This diagram shows the journey of your money from your bank or building society account to a savings account. This process is automated, so you only need to transfer your money between your Raisin UK Account and your nominated account. We take care of the rest.

Please be aware that some of our partner banks don’t utilise the services of Meteor Asset Management (MAM). You can find out if a partner bank will transfer your money via MAM by reading the product description.

Raisin UK and Starling Bank

In 2018, we were one of the first companies in the UK to utilise Starling Bank’s innovative open banking services. Starling Bank provides the FSCS protected functionality of the Raisin UK Account that allows you to transfer money to and from our partner banks.

How we make money

We make money from fees our partner banks pay us for every saving account opened through our marketplace, which is why our savings service is free to use. We don’t earn money from deposits held in your Raisin UK Account, and we don’t earn money while deposits transfer to savings accounts. We only make money when your savings deposits are making money for you, which motivates us to provide you with the best savings accounts, rates and service possible.

Peace of mind with deposit protection

Feeling reassured that your savings are safe is priceless, which is why deposits made into every savings account offered by our UK based partner banks are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

Savings accounts offered by our partner banks based in other European countries are protected by the European Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS).
