Zimba Growth Savings: 10% p.a. Your savings unlock your advance.
Earn 10% annual returns on your savings and build the collateral you need for a Zimba Advance loan. No year-long lock-ins. Just a 30-day cycle that rewards your consistency.
Why Zimba Growth Savings?
10% Annual Returns
Most banks offer 2–3.5%. Growth Savings pays 10% p.a., calculated daily and credited monthly. Your UGX 1M becomes UGX 1.1M in 12 months without lifting a finger.
30-Day Disciplined Lock
Withdrawals are locked for 30 days after each deposit, enough discipline to grow your pot, not enough to trap you. Early withdrawal means you forfeit interest earned (no extra penalties).
Your Savings = Your Loan Collateral
Grow your Growth Savings balance and unlock Zimba Advance. Borrow up to 70% of your balance with 0% processing fee and fair declining-balance interest. The more you save, the more you can borrow.
