We’re the first fintech platform in South Africa that allows you to accumulate funds through our addup, roundup or fixed saving feature. Here’s how you can get started with us.
Micro-investment, which involves putting away small amounts of money, consistently and over time, makes it possible to save with relatively little effort. With upnup, you can save without having to make drastic lifestyle changes or set up onerous savings accounts, that could help you reach your long-term savings goals.
upnup allows you to select a savings preference (addup, roundup or fixed) that will be applied on each transaction. Once a week, our algorithm calculates the user's saving amount and extracts the savings from the user's bank account. This money is transferred to their upnup wallet, into the investment option of their chocie.
“Simply set and forget, and let upnup do the work.”
- Tony Mallam, Managing Director
