The PiggyVest app is available on both Android and iOS, and is very trust-worthy. It requires no deposit or monthly fees, and the interface of both the web and mobile applications are user-friendly.

How Many Products Does PiggyVest Have?

PiggyVest has a variety of products for investments and savings. The savings part has five features. They include: Piggybank, Safelock, Targets, Flex Naira, and Flex Dollar.

1. Piggybank

This is the core online savings aspect of PiggyVest. Here, you can save any amount of money at any point in time from your bank account. There is also an Autosave feature that automatically withdraws from your account daily, weekly, or monthly (according to each user’s preference). An interest of 10% is paid per annum on this feature.

2. Safelock

This allows you to set money aside for a fixed period. You are denied access to these funds until maturity. If you decide to Safelock a particular amount of money, the funds are locked until the time you choose. This feature of PiggyVest is particularly useful if you need to save money for future purposes. (For instance, school fees or a car). The cool thing about Safelock is that the interest rate of 6%-15% per annum will be paid upfront.

3. Targets

Just as the name implies, Targets helps you save towards particular goals like house rent, school fees, etc. It also encourages group savings where each member has a payment frequency daily, and each group has how much they expect to have at the date of maturity. This feature is beneficial as it helps people with similar interests save towards a common goal. The interest rate is 10% per annum.

4. Flex Naira

Flex Naira is a flexible savings wallet where interests earned on all other PiggyVest features are deposited. As a user, you can fund your Piggybank, Target, Safelock, Flex Dollar, or Investify using funds in your Flex. The rule here is that you can only withdraw once every ten hours, with a maximum of four withdrawals. Once you exceed this maximum, all accrued interest on Flex savings will be lost. The interest rate on this feature is 10% per annum.

5. Flex Dollar

Flex Dollar allows you to save, invest, as well as transfer your funds in dollars. The market behaviors determine the interest rates here.
