Is my money safe with FairSave?

Absolutely! Your FairSave is as secure as your FairMoney bank account. All transactions and account management are handled using 256-bit HTTPS SSL encryption. We are licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and all deposits are insured by NDIC.

What is the difference between your FairMoney bank account and FairSave?

The main difference is that you earn money daily when you keep money in your FairSave, unlike your regular FairMoney account which would be your current account. The moment you credit your FairSave, you start earning money!

How much interest do I earn with FairSave?

You earn an effective annualized interest rate of 15% on whatever amount you have deposited in your FairSave.

When do I get the interest posted to my FairSave?

Interest is paid daily. Even though the interest on your FairSave is per annum, you are credited with the interest accrued on funds in your FairSave daily!

How is the interest calculated?

You effectively earn 10% interest annually. However, this is posted daily i.e, if you hold N100,000 for 365 days in your FairSave, you will end up with N110,000. Once you start accruing daily interest on your FairSave, you will be able to see clearly how much interest you are earning daily. The interest will be given on the standing balance of your FairSave.

What is Withholding Tax and how does it affect interest earned?

All interest earned in FairSave is subject to 10% withholding tax, which can be seen and tracked in the transaction history of the app. This is deducted directly from interest earned - no action is needed on your behalf.

Can I save automatically to FairSave from my FairMoney account?

For now, to fund your FairSave, you need to move funds from your FairMoney bank account balance into your FairSave.

How do I start saving?

Saving is easy with FairSave! All you need to do is click on the “Enter FairSave” button when you open your FairSave and input how much you want to save. The money will be moved from your FairMoney bank account into your FairSave. If your FairMoney bank account is not sufficiently funded, you will be prompted to add money to your FairMoney bank account to continue.
