Pillow was made and sold by the Pillow Fund. It was released in February 2022 to facilitate saving and investing by allowing people to save in digital assets worth one dollar. Pillow also lets people save money and earn up to 14% interest on it.

Pillow’s mobile app makes it simple to save in cryptocurrencies backed by USD. All you need is a phone number, an email address, and a few other KYC steps. Users get 14% interest on their deposits every year, no matter how much they put in.

In October, the company had one of its best fundraising months. The Singapore-based startup said that it had gotten $18 million in Series A funding, which was led by Accel and Quona Capital and included Elevation Capital and Jump Capital.

More than 75,000 people in more than 60 countries use the app. It works with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Axie Infinity, and the stable coins USDC and USDT, which are backed by USD.

One of the brilliant entrepreneurs in this group is Don Jazzy, who started and runs Marvin Records. Don has done a lot of great things as a businessman and producer, and this year he started a new business called Jazzy’s Burger. Since it came out, the app has gotten reviews that show how well it has done at giving its users the services it promised. But from a recent review, we learned that the platform is not for people who are “weak in the pocket.”

Signing up is easy. After you give your name, email address, and phone number, you get an OTP to confirm your information. You also have to enter a password, so it’s clear that security is also important.

Jazzy’s Burger was promoted by a lot of Nigerian celebrities and people with a lot of followers on social media. The burgers were given away to many followers, which made them even more popular on social media.

It came out on October 28 and has been downloaded more than 5,000 times. It has a 4.7/5 rating on the Google Play Store.

Pocket App

The Pocket App by PiggyVest used to be called the Abeg app. At first, it was only a way to send and receive money, but now it does a lot more. When the app was renamed “Pocket,” it got a big makeover that included new features that make payments and online shopping easier.

It was officially released as a social commerce platform and payment app in July 2022. It was made to help savers and business owners. The app is 20 MB and needs an Android OS version of at least 5.0.

The platform is now owned by PiggyTech, which is the parent company of PiggyVest. Its goal is to help people manage their money and find new ways to add value to their lives.

Trakka makes it easy for people in a country where it can be hard to figure out what they spent their money on in a certain time period to find out what they bought.

Both the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store have Trakka. Users must give their names and email addresses when they sign up for the app. Trakka lets you sync one bank account for free, but linking more bank accounts costs 500 nairas per month.
