nsave is a fintech that aims to democratise access to safe financial services for the middle-class in distressed economies. By leveraging on tech, Swiss banking infrastructure, and recent regulatory changes, nsave provides our customers with what they have never had – a safe place to put their savings.

Hi, we are nsave! 

Let us introduce ourselves

Have you ever wondered whether you can access your money which you have in your checking or savings bank account? Or whether that money will lose 90% of its value within a single year? This is the reality people in Lebanon, Argentina, and Turkey have faced in the past few years (and some continue to face). If only they had easy access to banking products located in safer economies where they can hold USD/EUR/GBP, millions would avoid these losses. 💸

That's what nsave is doing. nsave helps people from such places save USD/EUR/GBP in Switzerland without requiring them to deposit millions or physically be present in Switzerland. Users can open a nsave account with a smartphone and a passport, and start using it to keep their savings. We are building a product that well balances delightful user experience, compliance with regulations, and reliable engineering infrastructure.

We are backed by some of the world leading investors such as Sequoia Capital, Y Combinator, and SV Angel among companies like Apple, Airbnb and Stripe. We are on a journey to build a category defining company and our mission is to protect and grow the wealth of the financially excluded. 🚀
