Your money journey

This diagram shows the journey of your money from your bank or building society account to a savings account:

The process is automated, so you only need to transfer money from your Nominated Account to your Transaction Account, and we’ll do 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.

Learn more about your savings

We want you to make informed decisions about your savings, which is why we give everyone access to our growing collection of savings guides, which includes advice on how to get the most out of Raisin UK.

How we make money

We make money from fees our partner banks pay us for every savings 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 Transaction Account, and we don’t earn money while deposits transfer to savings accounts.

Peace of mind with deposit protection

Knowing 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).
