With a Kroo current account, you’ll earn 2% AER / 1.98% Gross (variable) interest on your current account balance up to £85,000.
And we’ll pay it to you monthly. No moving money around. No messing about.
AER means annual equivalent rate. It shows you what the rate would be yearly if we paid interest on top of interest. Gross interest is the contractual rate of interest.

Kroo currently continues to operate a Debit MasterCard® for existing customers only. This is an e-money debit card, not a bank current account, and it is not covered by FSCS deposit protection. The card is issued by PayrNet Limited (“PayrNet”) which is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to conduct electronic money service activities under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 (firm registration number 900594).

PayrNet (and Modulr FS Limited who process some payments for Kroo) hold e-money customer money and follow a set of regulatory safeguarding rules to keep that money safe. These rules require them to place customers’ money in a separate and secure account at an institution regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). PayrNet and Modulr do not use customer money for anything else, for example, they cannot use it to pay their own staff salaries.
Kroo is no longer issuing e-money debit cards to new customers.
