A savings account is a secure place to keep your money and earn interest on it over time. Revolut Savings offers the added benefit of interest paid daily and instant accessibility.

Comparing our plans: AER and tiered rates

The interest rate you earn, expressed as an Annual Equivalent Rate (AER), is determined by your Revolut plan. We offer a range of plans to suit different saving habits:

  • Standard and Plus: perfect for casual savers who want a competitive rate with no or low monthly plan fees
  • Premium: offers a significant boost to your interest rate with higher limits and subscriptions included with the plan
  • Metal: offers higher interest rates than Premium, with additional benefits such as discounted lounge passes and the Metal card
  • Ultra: our plan offering the highest interest rates on Savings, as well as complimentary lounge passes, monthly eSIM data, higher RevPoints, and more

Interest rates are variable and influenced by the Bank of England's base rate. You can view the most up-to-date rates for each plan directly in your app. Check out our Savings page for the current live rates.

Is it safe to save with Revolut?

If you're asking yourself whether it's safe to save with us, the answer's yes. We offer the same level of protection you'd find at any traditional UK bank.

Because we partner with ClearBank Limited, your money's protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). If ClearBank or Revolut were to fail, your money would be protected up to £120,000. You'll be able to find more details about how this works on our FSCS page.

Our proactive security features give you peace of mind, including our fraud protection and Wealth Protection. Wealth Protection, once activated, uses biometric checks on transactions over a limit of your choosing, to make sure you and only you can access your money.
