Cowrywise is a saving and investment company with the aim to help her users build/sustain wealth via disciplined, consistent and secured saving that leads to investments. We make this service seamless and charge-free for all our users. CowryWise is a registered firm with its assets held and monitored by Meristem Trustees Limited, an SEC-registered company. Cowrywise is not a bank but a financial technology company registered and licensed to help people save, invest and build wealth. There are different saving and investment options you can choose from 1. Periodic plans help you save and invest daily, weekly or monthly with any amount. They can also be topped asides the regular automated payments. The minimum duration for this plan is 90 days. 2. The Life Goals plan works similarly to the periodic plan but would have to be locked up for at least a year. This plan helps you to save for your long-term financial objectives like your child's education, your wedding, a vacation, a business or even retirement. 3. With Save As You Earn, assuming you do not have a regular income, you can save and invest as the money comes. This plan is not automated like the periodic or life goal plan. 4. For Fixed deposits, you get to set aside a lump amount of cash to be locked away for a period of time. This is the only plan that cannot be topped up. 5. The Interest-Free Savings is similar to Periodic Plan except that it does not earn interest. This is particularly suitable for Muslims who do not want interest on their savings. 6. The one-time saving feature is what allows you manually save into any of your existing plans at any time at all. You can have as many plans as possible by the way. 2 Likes |

Hi, i just saw this article today and decided to share my view tho before i started saving i went trough lot of research and write up but this was the write that confuse me, read below..... WHY I MOVED MY MONEY FROM PIGGYBANK TO COWRYWISE Please note that both Cowrywise and Piggybank have made changes to their platforms since I wrote this blog post. You might remember my blog post where I spoke about saving with Piggybank. Well, I have moved the money I saved there to Cowrywise and I want to explain the reasons why; I cannot recommend something, stop using it and then not inform my blog readers. So here are the reasons I moved my money from Piggybank to Cowrywise: Higher Interest Rate: I am all about making my money work hard for me so this is of course the number 1 reason why I moved my money to Cowrywise. While Piggybank offers an interest of 6% p.a. when using the Autosave option, Cowrywise offers an interest rate of 10% p.a. Cowrywise also pays interest daily which means the effective annual rate of return is actually higher than 10% while Piggybank pays interest every 3 months. And while Piggybank offers an interest rate of up to 10.95% (when you lock the money away for a year) when you using the SafeLock option, Cowrywise offers an interest rate of up to 15% when you lock away your money with them for a year. I could really end here and this would justify why I moved my money. No penalty on withdrawals: If you read this post I wrote for DailyKobo, you will see that one of my financial goals this year is to increase my emergency fund. It was not something I focused on as much last year because I was paying for ICSAN classes and exams but I have no excuse this year. Therefore, the fact that Cowrywise has no penalty for withdrawing at any time is great because it means I can use the platform to build my emergency fund and know I can have access to it without being penalised if I have to withdraw money because an emergency comes up. While I was using PiggyBank I had to keep my emergency fund in a regular savings account because Piggybank penalises your interest if you withdraw on any day other than 4 set days in each year. An emergency fund has to be extremely liquid and Cowrywise gives me that. I am very disciplined about my savings and investment goals so I am not worried that having no penalty on withdrawals will cause me to withdraw my money arbitrarily. So I get to grow my emergency fund at a faster rate because I am using Cowrywise. P.S. I also prefer the layout of the Cowrywise website over that of Piggybank. Do you use Cowrywise or Piggybank to save? If you do, why did you pick one over the other? I know some people do not like the fact that Cowrywise does not have an app but I do not mind. 1 Like |

theunnamed:i already have a savings account with Access, it was my NYSc salary account back in 2016. So can it serve as a target savings or I need to open a new one? 2 Likes |

barristerzinny: They'll have to upgrade it or something 'cos the target savings account and the "savings account" aren't the same. I had one of those too, but I told them to close it |
Re: Piggybank Or Cowrywise by Chugabags: 6:33am On Nov 05, 2018 |
I read through this and started on piggybank. My thoughts are that it's great for saving at 10%, I have been rolling over. I did a few autosave and liked the idea (Its like mini treasury bills), then I learnt about target saving and even started my own https://www.piggybank.ng/challenge/4ff21c5a0cc69 My question to all mathematicians and statisticians here is If I want to save 10k a month for a year. Is it better to lock it away every month till the end of the year at 12%? Or put it in target savings at 10% pa then add on the daily interests so it is like compound interest? |

Cowrywise allows for withdrawals after your plan is unlocked. The idea is to help you build wealth through discipline and not to serve as another bank account. Chukwudaalu: 1 Like |

Offpoint:I totally disagree! In Nigeria instead of the money u have in your bank account to increase reverse is the case by way of SMS charges etc. U collect ATM or not. I recommend Cowrywise because I use them and they are highly trusted and cool. 2 Likes |

What is the cowrywise rate now? My wife is interested in it. If it is a personal investment app, I am not so thrilled as I handle my own investment. |
