The NDIC is the body that insures bank deposits. Cowrywise Financial Technology Limited (“Cowrywise”) is a fund manager duly registered and licenced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Nigeria.

These choices of investment are motivated by the desire to provide our users with low-risk investment options that still yield high returns. Globally, treasury bills and government bonds are adjudged to be the most secure investment options.

Why does Cowrywise require my debit card details?

Have no worries though, our payment processors are PCI DSS compliant (globally certified) to ensure all delicate details are encrypted and rendered unreadable.
How does Cowrywise offer high returns?
Your saved funds are invested securely on your behalf for the duration you choose. Our investment portfolio is a fine mix of both high-quality and low-risk financial instruments issued by both the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Debt Management Office (DMO). The interest earned on your savings is earned from the returns of those instruments.

The whole thing is becoming stringent and just our failed banks are. Pls why not create a one time and easy security measures.
I have signedup but can get the otp code sent to my phone for authentication
A while back, a burglar cleared out our laptops, phones and bags while we were asleep. I lost access to my Google account forever because the phone with the authenticator app was gone and the laptop with access was gone as well. I lost all my contacts and have not found some of them back to this day. This is why the idea of an authenticator app scares me.
oh wow.
So sorry to hear that, Folajomi.
However, this is simply to ensure that your account on Cowrywise is backed with top-notch security.
We like to say that it’s like a ‘bodyguard’ so you have nothing to worry about here.
