PiggyVest reached a remarkable milestone yesterday: nine incredible years of helping Nigerians manage money, invest, and save more effectively! With thousands of customers, PiggyVest celebrates nine years of successful financial services. Dubbed one of the leading fintech platforms in Nigeria and the foremost online savings and investing platform in West Africa.
PiggyVest has empowered millions of users to save, invest, and grow their financial assets.
Launched in 2016 as Piggybank.ng, the platform has become a key player in Africa’s digital banking industry. Offering investment opportunities and supporting users in developing disciplined saving habits.
With its innovative platform, PiggyVest has made saving and investing accessible, convenient, and rewarding for everyone. Founded by Somto Ifezue, Odunayo Eweniyi, and Joshua Chibueze, PiggyVest was created with the simple but powerful goal of helping Nigerians even all Africans—take control of their financial futures. By introducing automatic savings, the platform enables users to save effortlessly while earning attractive interest rates. The founders reflected on their journey in a heartfelt anniversary message shared on social media:_
“Nine years ago, we set out with a mission to give everyone the power to manage and grow their finances. From the first person who trusted us with their money to the millions of you who now call PiggyVest home, you have been at the center of this journey.”_The platform’s growth has been significantly shaped by the trust, feedback, and even constructive criticism of its users, for which the founders are deeply grateful.
Since its launch, PiggyVest has helped users save billions of Naira, and its user base has grown to millions of active customers. What started as a simple savings tool has evolved into a diverse offering, including flexible savings (Flex Naira), dollar savings (PiggyVest Dollar), and various business tools. The introduction of Safelock, a fixed savings feature, and Target Savings, which helps users save for specific goals, have expanded its services.
PiggyVest’s success has also contributed to the rapid growth of Nigeria’s fintech industry, driving the development of digital investment and savings options across Africa.
As PiggyVest celebrates this milestone, the founders hinted at future developments, emphasizing their ongoing commitment to promoting financial independence and inclusion across the continent. Industry experts predict that the platform will continue to grow as it nears its tenth anniversary, and potentially expanding into new African markets and offering more advanced financial products. The company’s focus on user trust, transparency, and innovation will be critical to maintaining its leadership position amid increasing competition in the fintech sector.
