Frequently asked questions
How does Piggyvest source the investment opportunities offered to its users?
Piggyvest curates and vets investment opportunities that it then distributes directly to its user base through the app. The specific sourcing and underwriting process is not publicly detailed, but the firm acts as a gatekeeper — selecting third-party products for its closed marketplace rather than allowing open listings. This centralized vetting model is the primary mechanism for maintaining quality control over what reaches its 6 million retail customers.
Is Piggyvest a savings platform or an investment manager?
It is both. Piggyvest launched in 2016 as a pure savings platform and added direct investment offerings in April 2019 when it rebranded from Piggybank.ng. Today the firm operates a hybrid model: it automates retail savings accumulation through disciplined debit plans and simultaneously channels that capital into curated investment products available on the same platform.
