I have used it. Currently ive earned less than 1% on my £750 total investment and paid £9 in fees. Last months that was nearly 2%. However i did invest in the highest risk sector (you choose when you sign up).

I joined out of interest, its aimed at millenials who dont save, hence it rounds up all your transactions to the pound and takes out the difference once a week. You can pay so much a month.

Im 53 got a pension etc sorted so viewed it as a savings club really.

They have attracted a lot of investment recently hence the tv adverts etc.

Its not a great investment if you have cash but it sweeps the pennies out of your account.

I put £1 coins in a jar, that’s how I saved for mine and my daughter’s season tickets.
Sounds as if Moneybox is not for me then.
Here’s to 3 points tomorrow!

Yeah, been using it for about 6 weeks. Not got round to sorting out the penny round ups but putting a bit in each week.

Worth a try
