Octopus Cash

Helping savers and businesses find competitive interest rates for their cash savings

Octopus Cash helps savers get a better interest rate on their cash, without the hassle of regularly switching banks. We spread funds across multiple partner banks, which maximises the protection they get from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

Reasons to invest

Reasons to use Octopus Cash

Simple savings management

Savers can get set up with a single application and use one, or multiple accounts, to manage all their cash savings.

More FSCS protection for larger deposits

All our partner banks are fully regulated. Splitting large deposits across multiple banks offers increased protection.

Competitive interest rates

We work with some of the UK’s leading challenger banks to find savers a competitive interest rate.

No need to keep switching

At the end of the term, we automatically offer savers the best interest rate available from our partner banks.

Important considerations

No access before end of term

You should be aware that Octopus Cash has fixed- term and notice account options. Savers who select a fixed-term savings account won’t be able to access their deposits before the end of the term. Savers who require access to their deposits can use our notice account option.

Other accounts at partner banks

Only £85,000 of savings at each partner bank will be covered by the FSCS. If a saver currently saves or chooses to save with any of them in the future, money held directly at the banks will be covered ahead of money held with Octopus Cash.

Fees and charges

Savers pay no direct fee for using Octopus Cash. Octopus Cash takes a fee directly from our partner banks.
