6 hassle free ways to earn free money
Want money for next to nothing? Well I’ve discovered 6 ways you can get free money right now
I bet you wouldn’t say no to free money right – I certainly wouldn’t. Well you’ll be excited to know there are many new financial companies offering new ways to bank – and they’re giving you free money for you to try it out.
What are these new companies offering free money?
With the internet came a whole new way of banking. No longer are you restricted to just bricks and mortar, you can now use your phone to pay using sophisticated technology. These new apps combine traditional and internet banking so you have the best of both worlds. You can use it instead of/ in addition to your normal bank or as a way of saving money if you find it hard to save. They pretty much all have a debit card available if you want to use the account the traditional way too. Here’s all the best ways to get free money.
Oval
Oval is a innovative digital savings account that lets you save and invest in a number of ways. The app is set up so you can save in steps, these can be set up to fit in with your lifestyle so you can make the most of your savings. Ways you can save include:
- Having the spare change rounded off everything you spend. For example if you spend 75p on something, 25p will go into your savings pot
- Set aside a certain amount when you spend money in a certain category i.e services
- Set aside money every time you get paid
- Top up your account with a fixed amount every week
- Save every time you post on Facebook – great if you’re always updating your status!
- Link it with your Apple health app and save a fixed amount every time you walk a certain distance.
I only have the spare change step set up and you can see what I’ve saved in just two weeks already.
The app also monitors your expenses so you can see what you’re spending every month. It used read only access to your bank account to monitor this and a Direct Debit is set up to transfer your savings in. Once you’ve started saving you can transfer your money into investments like Fixed Rate and Protect Water.

If you ever get fed up with having to take out all your bank cards, then you’ll love the ease of using Curve. The app allows you to upload all your card details onto the app and then you can use your Curve card to spend money from those accounts. It also allows for at least 1% cashback from selected retailers and gives you an exclusive Loungekey. The Loungekey will get you into airport lounges for a discounted rate of just £15.00 per person.

ATM usage is also free to a certain point, the frequently asked questions can tell you more about this.

If you’re making a lot of international transactions they recommend Plus or Premium to avoid high fees. The free account is perfect for those who mostly spend money in the UK.

Plum is very much like Cleo in that it can assess your bank account and automatically decide what you can afford to save. You can adjust the saving amount depending on how much you want to spare. Plum also offers a investment option and offers you the chance to split your savings into your savings and investment account.

I am always wary of these new businesses as I worry that they may go bust if there is not sufficient consumer take-up, and then I’ll lose any money I have with them. That’s probably why I end up sticking with my old bank account and cards, as I know that banks are insured.
This is so helpful for me at the minute!!! great tips I can use!
