Card frame

what are microsavings?

with microsavings, teens can start small, stay consistent and watch their savings grow - every time they spend with their nimbl card, a little extra (from 5p–£5, chosen by them) is automatically moved into their savings pot.

no stress if funds are low either - the payment still goes through and the microsaving skips. they can be turned on or off at anytime.

 

microsavings example

tom has £30 on his nimbl card and decides to set up microsavings, choosing to save 50p every time he spends.

he then buys a £7 book at a bookstore. nimbl automatically moves 50p into his savings pot and his remaining card balance will show as:

nimbl card: £22.50 | nimbl savings: 50p.
