Yayyyyyy 1,000 Active Savers!!!
We launched our Savings platform last month and we are excited to share that we now have over 1,000 active savers on our platform.
With Herconomy, everyone saving can earn up to 10% interest on their savings! This is way better than keeping your money in a regular bank account.
We are on a journey to build a Digital Bank for Women in Africa.
This bank will support the growth of women in all aspects of their lives, from capacity building, to networking, to mentorship, which is why the core of what we do is COMMUNITY!
Please join us. Start saving here: dashboard.Herconomy.com.
Let’s build that Bank together
