Momentum Money is a digital savings account that offers a compelling interest rate from the first rand you save, with instant access to your money when you need it. There are no minimum deposits, so you can kickstart your savings journey with any amount.

Your Savings Wallet helps you grow your money by earning interest from the first rand, and your Payment Wallet is used to set aside money for spending and making payments.

When you transfer money from your Payment Wallet to the Saving Wallet, we send an instruction to Momentum Collective Investments to invest this amount into the Momentum Money Market Fund. Although it may take up to 48 hours for us to invest the money in the Momentum Money Market Fund, we adjust your balances immediately and treat you as if the money has already been invested in the Momentum Money Market Fund.

All individual South African citizens aged 18 years or older. Foreign nationals with a valid South African permit (work, study, and asylum) also qualify to open Momentum Money. US citizens may not apply due to these individuals being impacted by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).

If you mistakenly pay into the wrong account, then the unintended recipient of those funds has to repay the money themselves. Momentum Money will inform the beneficiary of the error and request repayment. We are not able to reverse the money from their account. If the recipient won’t pay back the funds, this becomes a matter between you and the recipient. We will provide the recipient’s contact details (name and mobile number) to you so that you can follow the legal process to recover the funds.

You can swipe your Momentum Money Visa card online and in-store countrywide. You can also make cardless payments via Scan to Pay at participating retailers, and send money to other Momentum Money clients using their mobile number.
