Updated:
An app-only UK bank from one of the world's biggest banking groups, built around a slick everyday account, a base-rate-linked saver and an in-app rewards programme. Quidsy has a live £50 free cash referral, which lands once you've opened the account and run a small deposit through. The catch sits in year two, when keeping the cashback gets harder.

Yes, for most people Chase is well worth having alongside your main current account. The £50 free cash referral is one of the easiest 10-minute wins I've come across, and the £1,000 you deposit to qualify isn't locked up: you can move it straight back out once the bonus has landed. So in practice you're getting £50 for opening an account, downloading the app and shuffling money around for half a morning.
After the bonus, Chase earns its keep as a second account in two ways. The 1% cashback on everyday spending in the first 12 months is genuine money back, up to £15 a month if you put your weekly shop through it. And the boosted savings rate for new customers is one of the better easy-access deals going right now, even though the variable rate will drift down if the Bank of England cuts.
The catch is year two. The cashback gets harder to hold onto (you need £1,500 paid in monthly to keep it), and the savings boost ends. Treat Chase as a strong first year and then re-evaluate. For the time it takes to open, it's an easy yes.
