Piggyvest rewards its users with points for maintaining or rather having a saving habit. I called it a saving habit because the more you are consistent in saving, investing, and using the app, the more you’ll be rewarded with points, which can later be converted to cash.
The good news is that there is no minimum amount you can convert, immediately you want to cash out your points, just follow the steps on the app to easily complete the process or rather keep reading to learn more.
In today’s article, we will share with you how to earn points fast and convert them to money, I mean real money. So, in case you don’t have an account with Piggyvest then you’re missing out on this amazing opportunity that not just rewards you, but compels you to save more.
What are Piggy Points?
Piggyvest rolled out the program to insensitive users to save more money using some features on its platform. As I write this post, the platform has about 5 to 6 amazing features with excellent services, and each of those features has its own characteristics and case studies.
However, Piggy Points is for users who save with Piggybank or Target Savings using either Autosave or Quicksave, and the accumulation of points starts from N2000. In this case, you’ll need to save N2000 and above to get rewarded with 1 point. In addition, you can only earn points on the Target Savings feature if the duration of the target is above 90 days.
The more you save money and invest in opportunities, the more points you will earn and this is how it’s being calculated:
1 point = N10
When you earned 1 point, that’s equivalent to N10, but what if you earned 10 points, that’s N100 right? I know that might sound too small, but little by little will add up to become something bigger over time.
It’s an interesting way to compel you to save more while also earning at the same time. If you think it’s too small you can also invite people to use the app and get rewarded heavily.
So, that’s how Piggy Points works. You’re being insensitive to save more and maintain your savings, goals, target, and objectives, without having to worry about money or breaking your contributions.

How to Earn More Points Fast on Piggyvest
To earn points fast, there are two ways involved.
- Target Savings
- Piggy Bank
If you’re using the target savings, there are two options involved, but make sure you set the goal tenure to the bearest minimum. For example, set up a low duration that is achievable in a matter of weeks.
In addition to that, you can create two or more targets at the same time. This is actually my way but you can give it a shot if you have the money. If not, stick to the first option.
Another way to fast-track your points accumulation is using the Piggybank. Although I haven’t tried this yet, you can combine both features at once to increase your points.
The two features are the only ways to earn points on Piggyvest and as a smart person, you should know how to improve your savings culture to maximize your earnings potential. Remember, more savings equals more money.
