Otta's take on Chip
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Chip provides a free app which aims to make saving as easy as spending. The AI-driven system calculates how much a user could save, gives the option to decline it, and then automatically transfers the amount to user’s Chip account.
Chip's users have saved over £800 million for its users to date, and the public clearly loves the product, as 9,000+ people invested in the company's latest crowdfunding round (one of the most participated-in crowdfunds to date).
Chip has made strong hires, including senior team members from Purplebricks, Deposit Solutions. Barclays, Funding Circle, and Monzo, which has given the company the firepower to scale the business.
The challenge for Chip will be staying relevant and differentiated when there are lots of other companies fighting for consumer's savings and investment accounts. For this reason, the company's investment product is forever adding something innovative to keep its users building wealth with Chip.
