Piggyvest is a Nigerian fintech startup founded in 2016 by Somto Ifezue, Joshua Chibueze, and Odunayo Eweniyi. It started as a simple online savings platform, allowing users to save small amounts of money periodically, but it has since evolved into a robust personal wealth management platform.
Piggyvest offers various services, including automated savings, micro-investments, and budgeting tools. The platform enables users to set savings targets, lock away funds for a specified period, and earn competitive interest rates on their savings. It also provides investment opportunities in pre-vetted, low-medium-risk ventures, allowing users to grow their wealth. By leveraging technology, Piggyvest has made financial planning and management more accessible and convenient for its users. The platform appeals primarily to young, tech-savvy individuals who want to take control of their personal finances, save towards specific goals, and build a secure financial future.
Our vision is to establish a comprehensive and inclusive digital wealth management ecosystem tailored to the unique needs of young people in Nigeria and expand to other emerging markets. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and user-centered design, we aim to revolutionize personal finance management and general financial services for millions of individuals, fostering financial stability and empowering them to build a prosperous future.
Piggyvest now proudly serves more than 4.5 million users, managing assets exceeding $250 million. Our innovative payment products have successfully processed transactions worth over $1 billion while catering to the needs of over 2 million users and supporting a network of over 1,000 active merchants.
