*AER stands for ‘annual equivalent rate’. We pay you interest on a monthly basis, but AER shows you the rate you’d get if this monthly interest was compounded and paid once a year instead. We provide an AER to make it easier for you to compare our rates with other providers.
**We pay gross interest, which means nothing is deducted for tax.

How long does switching to Biscuit take?
Opening Biscuit takes less than 5 minutes in the app. Updating Direct Debits depends on each company, but it’s usually all done online. Salary redirects kick in on your next pay cycle, once payroll has your new details. The timeline is fully in your hands, and nothing happens without your say-so.
Your switching checklist
Switching manually means you update your bank details with a company directly. Here's a checklist to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Regular bills
Subscriptions
Loans and finance
Income
What happens to your existing Direct Debits?
Until you update each one, your existing Direct Debits come out of your old account, so make sure it's topped up until they've all moved across to Zopa.
