Flex the best of both worlds; save whenever you want and also withdraw your money at any time without hassles.
Some of us lock our safes because we want to set aside money for the future and avoid the temptation of tampering with our savings. Also, some of us are wary of locking our safes because we fear not being able to access our monies in cases of emergency.

Whatever your concerns may be about safes, Eyowo has got the perfect answer! It’s actually because of you the Eyowo Flex Savings plan was introduced recently.
Now, you can flex the best of both worlds; you can save whenever you want and also withdraw your money at any time without hassles.
Understanding the Flex Safe interest rate
This is pretty straightforward. If you choose to be paid interest for this rate, you will be receiving up to 5% per annum for the saved amount.
If you save for a period smaller than a year, the interest rate will be pro-rated to the actual number of days you are saving for.
For the Flex Safe plan, interest is only paid when the safe reaches its maturity date.
Adding money to your Flex Safe
Just like our other savings plans, you can add money to your safe directly from your Eyowo Balance. You can also fund from any of your debit cards previously added to your account.
You may choose to fix a lump sum or add money automatically over a period; daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also top-up manually with random amounts from time to time.
Withdrawal date and penalty
As mentioned earlier, you can withdraw from your Flex Safe anytime you want. There is absolutely no penalty or extra charge for withdrawing before the maturity date. Is that a grin I see, yeah I thought so 😉.
However, it is important to note that withdrawal before the maturity date means you will have to forfeit any accrued interest.
Creating a Flex Safe

Congratulations, you have just created a Flex Safe.
Feel-free to manually top-up your safe anytime. You can also withdraw anytime you wish but we trust that’s won’t be your favourite option; especially when your interest stares at you😉.
