What the app actually does

Round-up saving

Every card payment rounds up to the next whole unit and the difference moves into your plan. You save the way you already spend, without thinking about it.

Automated investing

Money that lands in your account is put to work on a schedule, spread across a diversified portfolio matched to how much risk you said you were comfortable with.

Savings goals

Name the thing — deposit, wedding, a year off — and set the date. The app works backwards to a weekly or monthly amount and tells you when you drift off pace.

Portfolio tracking

One screen for what you put in, what it is worth now and what changed this month. No jargon, no tickers you have to look up.

Growth insights

Plain-language notes on what moved your balance and what a small change to your deposit would do over time — explanations, not tips.

Access to your money

Pause deposits, change the pace or withdraw from the app. Nothing is locked in behind a phone call.

Ways people start

Three routes into the same account. You can move between them whenever you like.

Most chosen

Round-Up Starter

For people who want to begin without changing their budget.

  • Card round-ups on everyday spending
  • Weekly summary of what you saved
  • Switch on investing when you are ready

Goal Plan

A named target with a date and a deposit that keeps pace with it.

  • Recurring deposit on your payday
  • Progress and pace tracking
  • Alerts when you fall behind
  • Multiple goals side by side

Managed Portfolio

Round-ups and deposits invested for you across a diversified mix.

  • Risk level chosen in a short questionnaire
  • Automatic rebalancing
  • Monthly plain-language statement
  • Withdraw or pause from the app

Fees, minimums and what your money is invested in are set out in full before you confirm anything.

From enquiry to first deposit

  1. Tell us where you are

    Send the form. We ask what you are saving for and whether you have invested before — nothing more technical than that.

  2. A short call

    We walk through the plans, the fees and the risks out loud, and answer the questions you would rather not type.

  3. Set the pace

    Pick a deposit you would not notice missing, switch round-ups on, and choose the risk level you are comfortable with.

  4. Watch it run

    Deposits and round-ups invest on schedule. You get a monthly note on what changed and why, and you can adjust any of it from the app.

What people say about starting

★★★★★
I had put off investing for years because I thought I needed a lump sum. The round-ups did it quietly and I only really noticed three months in.
Priya
★★★★☆
The goal screen is the part I use. Seeing that I am eleven days behind pace is more useful than any chart.
Tom
★★★★★
The call before I signed up was the difference. Nobody rushed me and the fees were explained before I asked.

Before you get in touch

I have never invested. Is this for me?

Yes — that is who it is built for. You answer a few questions about your goal and comfort with risk, and the app handles the buying, spreading and rebalancing.

How does round-up saving work?

Each card purchase is rounded up to the next whole unit and the small difference is moved into your plan. You can cap how much rounds up in a week or turn it off entirely.

Can I take my money out?

You can pause deposits or request a withdrawal from the app. Investments are sold before the money is returned, so it is not instant like a current account.

What does it cost?

The fee structure depends on which plan you use. We set it out in writing, with worked examples, before you put any money in — ask on the call and we will go through it line by line.

Can my balance go down?

Yes. Investments rise and fall, and you can get back less than you put in. We explain the risk level of each portfolio before you choose one, and never promise a return.

Talk to us before you start

Leave your name and email and we will get in touch to walk through the plans, the fees and the risks.

  • A person from the Meridian Growth team replies — no automated sequence.
  • First we ask what you are saving for and how you would like to pace it.
  • No obligation to open anything at the end of the call.
