Piggyvest

Founded by Odunayo Eweniyi, Joshua Chibueze, and Somto Ifezue in 2016, PiggyVest is a fintech platform that enables Nigerians to save and invest automatically. Initially launched as PiggyBank, the platform was inspired by the traditional practice of using wooden piggy banks (called ‘kolo’ in Nigeria) to store money. The app helps users develop a habit of disciplined savings through automated features like fixed savings, target savings, and safelock options. PiggyVest also offers investment opportunities in sectors like agriculture and real estate, allowing users to grow their wealth. It has become one of Africa’s most popular savings platforms, boasting millions of users.
