Insignis Cash

Pros and cons
Insignis Cash
Pros
- The minimum deposit is £0, so there is no floor to clear before you can start.
- The headline rate of 4.4% to 4.61% sits above the 3.3% listed at PayPal Colombia.
- Deposits are covered by the FSCS scheme, listed as FSCS up to GBP 85,000.
Cons
- The rate type is variable while the listed model is fixed rate, so treat 4.4% to 4.61% as a figure that can move rather than a return locked across 6 to 60.
- Choosing a notice or fixed-term deposit ties that money up for 6 to 60 instead of leaving it on easy access terms.
- The account is grouped as cash management, which suits holding cash but sits on a different shelf from the easy-access savings accounts most rate comparisons come from.
KDI Save
Pros
- No lock-in, so you can withdraw at any time without charges, with returns credited daily
- A MYR 100 minimum deposit keeps the entry point modest
- Licensed by the Securities Commission of Malaysia under eCMSL/A0008/2007 and run by Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad
Cons
- The MYR 100 opening deposit sits well above the €0.17 minimum across savings accounts
- The fixed rate holds the return in place rather than following the variable rates common among cash management accounts
Who each suits
Insignis Cash
Who it suits
- UK savers who put cover first, since deposit protection is listed as FSCS up to GBP 85,000.
- People who need easy access for one pot and a longer lock of 6 to 60 for another, from the same provider.
- Readers who want a named UK company behind the money: Insignis Asset Management Limited, founded in 2017.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for the highest headline figure on the site: Plazo ES lists 24.19% and AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito 21.59%, well above the 4.4% to 4.61% here.
- Not for savers who will settle for a lower number: PayPal Colombia lists 3.3% against 4.4% to 4.61% at Insignis Cash, so you trade some yield for the wider set of deposit terms.
KDI Save
Who it suits
- Savers in Malaysia who want a fixed return on cash they can reach at any time
- People who can start with a MYR 100 opening deposit and let the balance earn daily
- Customers who want support over email, phone and help centre and a named bank behind the balance
Who should look elsewhere
- AXI Card Tarjeta y Credito, listed at 21.59%, for readers shopping purely on the top rate
- PayPal Colombia at 3.3%, for anyone who wants a higher headline return than the 2.88% to 3.88% range here
- Plazo ES at 24.19%, for readers who want the highest headline rate on the list rather than a bank cash-management balance

Questions about each
Insignis Cash
What is the minimum deposit, and can I start small?+
The minimum deposit is £0, so there is no floor to clear before you start. Deposits come as easy access, notice and fixed-term options, and fixed terms run 6 to 60. On minimum deposit the account ranks 1 of 370 brands on the site.
Is my money protected?+
Money is covered by the FSCS scheme, listed as FSCS up to GBP 85,000, so the protection comes with a cap you can read. The provider operates under the Financial Conduct Authority's Payment Services Regulations permission, recorded as 813442 for the UK. Hold on to the cap and the licence, since they answer different questions about the same balance.
KDI Save
Does KDI Save charge a monthly fee?+
The monthly fee is MYR 0, and the account is sold on a no monthly fee model, so there is nothing to pay each month for keeping the balance open. Nothing in the access terms adds a charge for taking the money out either.
Who regulates KDI Save?+
The account is licensed by the Securities Commission of Malaysia under eCMSL/A0008/2007, and it is operated by Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, a Malaysian bank. Keep the licence reference handy for your own records when you open the account.
