Savyt launches, set to provide investors up to 15% on savings & investment

In its quest to help Nigerians grow wealth and earn increased returns on their savings and investments, Savyt (pronounced ‘Save+It), a fintech start-up, has launched its savings offerings.

Savyt is a savings and investment platform leveraging technology to help Nigerians grow wealth by connecting them to high-yielding investment opportunities.

With savings rate in Nigeria currently estimated at 20% and the country’s 10-year average inflation rate standing at 12%, Nigerians are constantly on the search for investment opportunities that can improve their returns and protect their portfolio from inflation and currency devaluation. Savyt aims to make this process easier.

Commenting on the launch, Muyiwa Babarinde, Head of Marketing & Growth highlighted how rising inflation continues to erode Nigerians’ purchasing power and deplete savings.

Over the years, the persistent rise in the consumer price index indicates that Nigerians are spending more, thereby reducing the purchasing power of the average consumer”, he said. “At Savyt, we are focused on improving economic mobility through an improved national savings rate. Savyt provides alternative savings & investment options where users can set personal goals, save towards them and earn up to 15%, per annum”. 

“With our goal-focused ‘target savings’ and ‘fixed investments’ (Maintain, Accelerate & Elevate) plans, our users can improve the value of their portfolio. By providing Nigerians with investment products that help their capital appreciate, we can help unlock more value and ensure upward economic mobility”, he added.

On Savyt, users can set up an account, create a savings plan with as low as N50 and enable recurring deposits through its ‘Autosave’ function, in a matter of minutes.

With Autosave, users can automatically save funds at a frequency they are comfortable with, either daily, weekly or monthly. Customers’ funds are invested in low to medium risk financial instruments, and the platform is secured by a world class security system that guarantees the safety of customers’ funds and data.

Transactions are processed by a PCI DSS complaint processor, and all deposits are held by our partner banks, and insured by Nigeria Deposit Insurance Commission (NDIC)

Savyt has been in beta and it has partnered with a licensed financial institution to provide its services in Nigeria.
