Top Digital Banks & Fintech Apps for High-Yield Savings in Nigeria
#1
If you’re tired of the tiny interest rates from traditional banks (3%–7% at best), here are some licensed, NDIC-insured fintech apps that offer much higher returns on your savings:

1. FairMoney

Savings Option: FairLock

Interest Rate: Up to 28% per annum

Highlight: One of the highest fixed savings rates in Nigeria. Ideal if you want to lock money away for a set period and watch it grow.

2. PiggyVest

Savings Option: SafeLock

Interest Rate: Up to 20% per annum

Highlight: Trusted by millions, PiggyVest is Nigeria’s pioneer digital savings app. SafeLock forces discipline—you can’t withdraw until maturity.

3. PalmPay

Savings Option: Fixed Savings

Interest Rate: Up to 20% per annum

Highlight: Simple to use and well-integrated with PalmPay’s mobile wallet for easy deposits and withdrawals.

4. OPay

Savings Option: Fixed Money

Interest Rate: Up to 17% per annum

Highlight: Popular super-app with fast transactions, plus a decent savings return compared to commercial banks.

5. Moniepoint

Savings Option: Locked Savings

Interest Rate: Up to 16% per annum

Highlight: Backed by one of Nigeria’s strongest fintechs, Moniepoint offers reliability and accessibility with attractive rates.

6. Kuda Bank

Savings Option: Fixed Savings

Interest Rate: Up to 15% per annum

Highlight: Known as the “Bank of the Free,” Kuda combines zero fees with competitive interest for locked funds.

Bonus Notes:

1. Safety First – All the above apps are licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and insured by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC). That means your money is protected.

2. Avoid Risky Platforms – Don’t save with any company that isn’t CBN-licensed and NDIC-insured. If anything happens, your money may not be recoverable.

3. Why Not Big Banks? – Traditional commercial banks still offer very low fixed savings rates (around 3%–7% per annum). With inflation where it is, that’s almost nothing compared to what fintechs give.

4. If your goal is to beat inflation, earn higher returns, and still keep your money safe, these fintech apps are far better options than sticking with old-school banks.

With palmpay, If you fix a large amount of money, by 12 months the interest can definitely pay your rent.

If your house rent is like N200k and you have upto 1m that you can fix for 12 months, the interest will pay your rent.
