Business Instant Access Savings are here
You often put money into savings for unexpected costs. But when something unexpected happens, you might need that money straight away. Especially when you’re a business owner with bills, cash flow and employees to think about.
That’s why we’ve launched an Instant Access Savings Pot. It’s designed to give you the flexibility to grow your savings without having to wait around for your money when you need it.
How it works
You’ll earn 1.60% AER interest (variable) a year, paid monthly into your Pot
Monzo’s Instant Access Savings earns you 1.60% AER interest(variable), paid monthly into the Pot you create.
We’ve created the Savings Pot to easily link with the business current account, meaning you can manage all of your business money in one place, the Monzo app. We hold your money and pay you interest, monthly.
Access your money whenever you like
There’s no waiting around, your money’s always available when you need it. With the Instant Access Savings Pot, you can take money out at any time and withdrawals usually go into your Monzo account instantly.
Just remember, you won't be able to make payments or schedule withdrawals from this new Pot.
You don’t need a minimum deposit
There’s no minimum deposit, and the maximum you can have in an Instant Access Savings Pot is £100,000 each.
You can only have one Instant Access Savings Pot per account
An Instant Access Savings Pot is great for saving towards your business goals like buying new equipment, treating your staff or reinvesting in your business. Regular Pots (which don’t attract interest) are better suited to setting small amounts of money aside for budgeting or paying bills. And Tax Pots, only available to Business Pro customers, automate the percentage of income you would like to put aside for your quarterly and annual taxes. If you have more than one business, you can have one Instant Access Savings Pot per business.
Your money’s protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)
If you're a sole trader or a small business your eligible deposits may be protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000. 💰 To learn more about the businesses and deposits that are eligible, see our FSCS information sheet.
