Revolut is offering 5% AER (variable) savings rates for new customers
by Angela Upex · Manchester Evening NewsRevolut, the fully licensed UK bank, has launched a 5% AER (variable) savings rate * for new customers on their first £25,000 - one of the best rates available in the UK market, especially for instant access savings accounts.
Why is this so competitive? The answer is simple. Revolut's instant-access savings account offers flexibility and innovative features, such as spare-change round-ups, to make saving toward your goals easier.
At one of the highest rates on the market, Revolut’s Instant Access Savings account pays interest daily, and you can withdraw at any time without forfeiting your interest rate.
While most high-yield savings accounts require customers to lock their money away for fixed periods, such as a year, to earn interest, Revolut lets you be flexible with your savings.
Albert Cordorniu, General Manager of Savings at Revolut, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to help customers upgrade their wealth. Implementing this boosted 5% AER (variable) is a commitment to passing tangible value back to our customers.”
In control of your money
Revolut is designed for how people actually manage money today, letting you manage all your finances from your phone and simplifying sending and spending money globally.
These days, fintechs like Revolut are saying goodbye to traditional bank branches. Instead, they offer streamlined accounts bundled with useful features such as savings and budgeting tools, fast setup, innovative security features, and 24/7 customer support. Better yet, it's all available through a mobile app.
You can open as many savings accounts as you want, allowing you to organise your savings in separate accounts while still earning interest.
For example, are you in charge of the budget for your friend’s hen do? Pop that into a Revolut savings account, earn interest, and keep it separate from your personal savings.
You can also set up recurring transfers from your current account to your savings to help you stay accountable to your savings goals.
The company has won awards, including 'World's Best Digital Bank' in the 2025 Euromoney Awards for Excellence, marking the first time a neobank has ever claimed this prestigious global title, as well as featuring on Forbes’ World’s Best Banks List in 2025.
