Save £2 every time the temperature goes below 10°C with the Winter Savings Challenge ❄️

Read the article

The days are short, there's frost on the ground and the sky always seems to be grey. Is it just us or does it feel like Winter is never going to end? ❄️

We’ve created a Winter Savings Challenge for you to take on! Whether you’re saving for a summer holiday, saving for a warm coat you’ve had your eye on in the sales or setting money aside just in case, this challenge will help you save little and often.

How it works

Whenever the temperature falls below 10 degrees in your area, you can automatically save £2 into a Pot of your choice.

You can even change the amount you want to save if you like!

Whenever the weather in the location you’ve chosen goes below the number you’ve set, we’ll move your money into a Pot automatically.
