How to use Cowryrise
To start using Cowryrise to save and invest, you have to create an account with them which is a very simple thing to do.

Once verified, you now own a Cowryrise account and you have to choose which of their savings and investment plan that is ideal for you. Cowryrise features the following plans;
- Periodic Plans
- Life Goals
- Save as you earn
- Fixed Plans
- Interest-free plans
Each of these plans operate differently and you should take your time to read through their individual offers and then make your choice. However, you should know that a user is not limited to just one plan. If you have interest in more than one plan you can create separate savings for each one. When you are set, you can now deposit money into your account. You can do that using any Nigerian Debit card. Immediately you make your deposit, your investment starts reading. On your dashboard, you can monitor your savings easily. To make it a lot easier you should download the Cowryrise Mobile App – it is really recommended that you do – which is available for Android and iOS devices.
The thing with Cowryrise is that they offer high returning interest rates which are higher than what most commercial banks in Nigeria offer. Cowryrise offers a minimum 10% interest rate per year on your investment amount. The interest percentage can go as high as 15% per year if invested on a longer period of time. As days, months and years go by, your earned interest is automatically added to your savings balance. You get your saved amount and the added percentage when your savings are matured. Withdrawal is currently limited to Bank and it doesn’t take time, it takes a maximum of 6 hours.
Cowryrise does not charge users any transaction fee of any kind, it may sound surprising but it is true. Everything you carry out on the platform is free of charge both when depositing and withdrawing.
