About Kroo Bank Ltd

Kroo is a bank with a conscience. A bank built to change banking. For good. Forever. Founded in 2016, we secured our full banking licence in 2022 and have gone on to launch our FSCS-protected current account.

Kroo has been awarded the Best Newcomer 2021 Award by the British Bank Awards, as well as the Banking Innovation Newcomer Award 2021 by the Finder Awards.

Kroo believes it can transform banking for good, changing perceptions about what a bank can and should be – one that actually cares for its customers as well as the planet we share.

It’s all part of our mission to be a bank that is truly trusted and loved by our customers.

What is the interest rate?
4.46 % AER

4.37% Gross

AER is the Annual Equivalent Rate and represents what the interest rate would be if interest was realised and paid once each year.

Accrued interest is calculated daily, compounded monthly and paid gross without prior deduction of tax.

Interest is credited monthly on the last day of each month.
Can Kroo Bank Ltd change the interest rate?

The interest rate applicable to your deposit is variable.

Should the bank set a date to lower the interest rate, you will be given a minimum of 14 days’ notice. You may receive less notice if the rate increases.

Please review the Meteor Asset Management (MAM) Terms and Conditions for more information.
How much interest might a £1,000 deposit have earned after 12 months?

The estimated balance after 12 months on a deposit of £1000 is £1,044.60. This projection is for illustrative purposes only and does not take into account individual circumstances.

Please ensure you have read and understood all sets of Terms and Conditions before applying for this product.
Can I withdraw money?

Yes. There is no limit to the amount of withdrawals you can make; however, you are unable to withdraw less than £500 in a single withdrawal transaction and a withdrawal will not be authorised if it leaves your balance below £1,000. To withdraw below your minimum balance you may close your account at any time by requesting closure from within Raisin UK.

In the event you have requested to close your account fully, funds may be returned to your Raisin Account in two separate payments by MAM and can take up to two business days to be returned to your Raisin UK Account. For further information, please refer to clause 4.21 of the MAM Terms and Conditions.

If termination is received on a non business day (either weekend or public Holiday), the termination will be initiated on the next business day.

Once termination has been requested it can’t be revoked.
Additional information

MAM, with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf.

Funds will appear in MIM’s account by the following business day from funding your application at the latest. Funds will be remitted to Kroo Bank by MAM on the second business day after arriving in the MIM account.

It can therefore take up to 2 business days for an ordered product to be set up and start earning interest, and up to 2 business days for withdrawals and closures to be processed and funds received back in your Raisin UK account.

Cash and deposits will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules.

You have the right to cancel your account without charge and without giving any reason, within 14 calendar days from the day of opening this savings account.  For further information, please refer to clauses 1.18 and 1.19 of the MAM Terms and Conditions.

Security and deposit guarantee

Deposits are eligible for protection by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) http://www.fscs.org.uk/. The FSCS is the United Kingdom’s statutory deposit guarantee scheme that covers deposits in individual savings accounts up to £85,000, per banking group regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. It is available for deposits with most UK high-street and online banks and means if the bank fails, and deposits become unavailable, the scheme may cover your deposit account deposit up to the £85,000 per person, per banking group limit.

Compensation limits are per person per firm, not per deposit. Be aware that if you have other deposits with this bank (or banking group) then the £85,000 protection applies only to eligible deposits up to this limit.

Timescales for the return of your money can vary between different banks and banking groups. This bank holds funds under a trust model. Funds held under a trust model can take up to three months to be returned, but in most cases will be returned sooner than this.
