Start Saving
How can I begin to generate wealth and plan for financial emergencies?
Start Building Your Safety Net – From Just R25/month
Most South Africans don’t have even one month’s salary saved. That means when an emergency strikes, a car repair, a medical bill, or job loss, there's nothing to fall back on. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
At Meerkat, we make saving simple, affordable, and rewarding.
- Start from just R25/month
- No fees, no lock-ins – access your money anytime
- Earn CPI + 1% interest and grow your savings faster
- Stand a chance to win R1,000 every month
Whether you’re saving for a rainy day, a school uniform, or your future peace of mind - starting small is better than not starting at all.
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb
