What's Select Access?

It’s a Savings Pot for you to put money aside and earn interest on, just like a savings account.

Select Access pays you more interest for making fewer withdrawals. Think of it as a nudge to help you save for those chunkier goals like a house deposit, a special trip, or just building a buffer.

Automated ways to stash your cash

Even more handy tools to help your money grow.

Set up regular deposits

We’ll automatically add money from your main balance. Just tell us how much and how often.

Save your spare change

Turn on roundups and we’ll put the spare change into your Savings Pot whenever you spend.

Sort your salary

Set savings aside when you’re paid, before the urge to splurge sets in.

FSCS protected

We’re a fully regulated UK bank and your eligible deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £120,000 per person. This includes money in your Savings Pots and Cash ISA.

Check out our Understanding FSCS protection article if you’d like to learn more.

Keep your savings safe

Extra security controls give you another layer of protection when making big bank transfers and withdrawing from your savings.

Pay from a known location, confirm it with someone you trust, or scan a secret QR code to prove it’s really you.

We offer Cash ISAs too

Your money grows in the same way as your Savings Pot, but any interest you earn could be exempt from UK income tax – which could help you reach your goals faster.

You can add up to £20,000 across all your ISAs (whether they're with Monzo or somewhere else) each tax year.

The taxes you pay depend on your circumstances and could change in the future. 18+ only.

Questions? We've got answers

What is Select Access Savings?

Select Access Savings offer a higher interest rate if you make 2 (or fewer) withdrawals a year. If you need to withdraw more we’ll lower your rate to 2.60% AER (variable) if you have a free Monzo current account and 3.10% AER (variable) if you have Monzo Perks, Max, Plus or Premium until you hit the one-year mark since opening your Pot. No matter how many withdrawals you’ve made, you can always access your money instantly. You can start saving with a £500 minimum deposit.

How many withdrawals can I make from Select Access Savings?

You can make as many withdrawals from your Select Access Savings Pot as you want, just make sure you keep your balance at £500 or above to keep your Pot open. If you need to withdraw more we’ll lower your rate to 2.60% AER (variable) if you have a free Monzo current account and 3.10% AER (variable) if you have Monzo Perks, Max, Plus or Premium until you hit the one-year mark since opening your Pot. No matter how many withdrawals you’ve made, you can always access your money instantly.

How many Select Access Pots can I open?

You can have up to two open Select Access Savings Pots on your Personal Account, and up to two open on your Joint Account at the same time.

Why should I choose Select Access over Instant Access?

Select Access Savings Pots could be a great option for medium-term savings goals where you'll probably need the money later, like a big trip, a wedding or even a house deposit. Instant Access Savings Pots could work for money you expect to need sooner, or money that you’re likely to withdraw across many transactions.

How does the Select Access rate compare to Instant Access?

The Select Access Savings interest rate is 0.40% AER (variable) higher than the Instant Access Savings interest rate.
