Processing deposits
When your money is held by Chip (during the processing of deposits and withdrawals only) it is safeguarded.
Safeguarding is another way of protecting your money. It’s a set of rules, governed by the FCA, which are designed to ensure your money is kept safe.
It requires firms to either keep your money separate from their own, or protect it with an insurance policy or similar guarantee. All authorised payment institutions must safeguard your money. You can find out more about safeguarding on the FCA’s website.
You can read more about how we protect your money on our website.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us via email at hello@getchip.uk or via the in-app chat (this can be found in the Profile tab) and we'll be happy to help.
