Crowdvest anything

You can use crowd investments to save towards absolutely anything. And with Crowdvest, you can get all your friends and family involved.

Instead of friends and family bringing your toddler birthday presents they'll quickly outgrow, you could all save for their education.

Or instead of taking on the entire cost of a wedding by yourself, you could give grandparents the opportunity to help give their grandchildren the wedding of their dreams.

You could even use Crowdvest to encourage your group of friends to save for the next Soccer World Cup.

With crowdsourced investing, a few hundred rands can go a long way

Investing a little bit of money regularly can really add up, especially if others contribute too. Imagine you save R100 every month for your baby’s future, and each year you add 6% more to what you save. If the investment grows each year by the rate of inflation plus an extra 5%, by the time your child is 21, you’d have R140 000 saved up.

But, if family members like grandparents, aunts, and uncles also give a gift of R200 four times a year for birthdays and holidays, and that gift amount also grows by 6% annually, your child could have R300 000 by age 21.

That’s triple the money compared to saving all by yourself!
