While these are all great for the ‘here and now’ situations, we recognize that, sometimes, you also need to plan well into the future and better control your financial flows by putting away money.”
With a two-year experience in providing loans and other services, the company realized that “sometimes, you also need to plan well into the future and better control your financial flows by putting away money.”
The new feature is a fixed-interest investment account for Paylater.ng users. With PayVest, users can save, or rather invest, some portion of their earnings and expect high returns later. PayVest appears to be an attractive investment option.
The feature promises an annual interest rate of 15.5%. This is a huge figure, relative to that offered by banks and means that you can earn above the inflation rate.
