How To Edit Your Automated Investment Plans

We understand that when you first set up your investment, you may have decided to fund your investment once a month. Now you’re excited about how well it’s going, and you want to change the frequency. You can edit the frequency to weekly or even daily contributions.

To change your automation settings:

1. Log in to the Cowrywise app and tap “Invest”.
2. Click on either the “Naira Mutual Funds” or “USD Mutual Funds” card. Here, you can view all your investments.
3. Tap the investment you wish to edit.
4. Tap “Edit Investment Automation”.
5. Then, you can proceed to adjust how frequently you invest and how much you want to invest.

Can Automated Plans Be Paused?

Automated investments are great, but our aim is to create features that suit your needs. If your investment is currently automated, you can go to the existing investment plan and tap “Edit Investment Automation”.

Proceed by toggling the “active” option and switch it to “paused”. Once you’ve paused it, save the settings, and the automation will stop. Unless you reactivate automated funding for that investment plan, you will have to invest manually.

Still having doubts? We’ve made investing as easy as possible. Select from multiple mutual funds and start investing today.
