# What is Fynbos?

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.

| Traditional providers | Fynbos |
| --- | --- |
| Separate accounts at different institutions | All account types in one app |
| Manual transfers to each account | Automation rules distribute money for you |
| Complex application processes | Sign up in minutes with ID verification |
| Opaque fee structures | Transparent pricing with no hidden costs |
| Waiting days to access your money | Instant liquidity on savings accounts |

Your money is held with licensed financial services providers and invested in regulated funds. Fynbos is the interface that makes managing it simple.
