Abstract: With appropriate boundary conditions the anisotropic $XY$ chain in a magnetic field is known to be invariant under quantum group transformations. We generalize this model defining a class of integrable chains with several fermionic degrees of freedom per site. In order to maintain the quantum group symmetry a general condition on the parameters of these systems is derived. It is shown that the corresponding quantum algebra is a multi-parameter deformation of the Clifford algebra. Discussing a special physical example we observe a new type of zero modes.
