PiggyVest has recorded its biggest year yet in 2025, paying out ₦1.3 trillion to users and crossing 6 million user base.
The fintech said the payouts represent 56% increase from the ₦835 billion disbursed in 2024, which shows a strong growth as the company approaches its 10th year of operations.
PiggyVest, in an email sent to users, disclosed that its assets under management grew by 110% in 2025, although it did not state the exact figure.
In 2025, the fintech launched its own in-house payment system powered by PocketApp, moving away from the virtual account numbers.
Establishing our own payment infrastructure through PocketApp account numbers has given us more reliability and control over deposits and payouts – Joshua Chibueze, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer
The performance of the company in 2025 also earned global recognition, as PiggyVest was named among CNBC’s top fintech companies of the year, alongside Interswitch, Moniepoint, and M-KOPA.
Since its launch in 2016, PiggyVest has now paid out more than ₦3 trillion to users.
In 2024, the fintech introduced PiggyVest Business, extending savings and investment products to small businesses through offerings such as Investify and Safelock.
Community engagement also played a role in PiggyVest’s growth. The company held town halls in five Nigerian cities, including Lagos and Abuja, to gather feedback and shape product strategy.
Chibueze stated that the primary community programme of the company, OpenHouse, was extended to more cities nationwide last year which brought more depth and insights into product strategy.
PiggyVest plans to roll out PiggyVest Kids, a savings product for children, around Children’s Day later this year.
