What Tunzi is
Tunzi is a mobile-based savings and investment app that uses goals, group saving, and saving rules linked to mobile money. Users can set personal targets, reminders, and progress tracking. Rules include Quick Save, Round down, Save on Spend, and a 52 week challenge. Groups can include 2 to 15 members, and every member must approve a withdrawal before it is processed. Tunzi states that Quick Save and normal goals earn 6% per year, while locked goals and the 52 week challenge earn 8% per year, with interest distributed daily. The app is free to use with no monthly charge or maintenance cost, but withdrawal fees range from RWF 200 to RWF 1,000 depending on transaction size. Requests are usually processed within 48 hours, excluding weekends and public holidays, and withdrawals go to the linked mobile number through MTN mobile money. Tunzi says deposits are held in a custody bank and investments are handled by BK Capital. It states that it is authorized by Rwanda's Capital Markets Authority. Users must be at least 18 and legally able to enter binding contracts.
