Fynbos is a South African savings and investment app that helps you build wealth through smart investment accounts and automated money management.

  • Multiple account types: Emergency savings, tax-free investments, savings pots, and investment accounts — all in one app

  • Automation built in: Set up rules to automatically distribute your deposits across accounts based on your priorities

  • Simple and transparent: No complicated paperwork, hidden fees, or confusing jargon

Whether you're building an emergency fund, saving for a goal, or investing for the long term, Fynbos gives you the tools to do it yourself.

Who is Fynbos for?

Fynbos is designed for South Africans who want to take control of their financial future without needing a financial advisor or navigating complex investment platforms.

You might be a good fit if you:

  • Want to start saving or investing but don't know where to begin

  • Prefer managing your money through an app rather than paperwork and phone calls

  • Like the idea of automating your savings so you don't have to think about it

  • Want all your accounts in one place instead of spread across multiple providers

Fynbos works for beginners and experienced savers alike. You don't need investment knowledge to get started — just a goal and a willingness to save.

How Fynbos is different

Traditional investment providers often require paperwork, minimum balances, and separate accounts for each product. Fynbos takes a different approach.
