However, saving based on Halal values still took a lot of effort because you had to manually set interests as free for each savings plan. So, Cowrywise recently launched what we call ‘Halal accounts’ which makes it easier and more convenient. In this post, we’ll look at how to set your Cowrywise account to Halal, along with some Halal savings and investment plans you can look out for on the app.
How to Set Up a Halal Account on Cowrywise
With a Halal account on Cowrywise, you can now join circles and use the emergency savings plan. In the past, it was impossible to use this plan as a Muslim because they could not be set up as ‘interest-free’. However, with a Halal account, all your savings plan on Cowrywise automatically becomes interest-free. Here’s how to set up a halal account;
Log in to your Cowrywise accountTap on the Profile icon located at the top right of your screen
Tap on ‘Profile’
On the profile options, tap on ‘Behaviour’
Scroll down and under the ‘Halal’, turn on the toggle.
This will automatically make all your Cowrywise experience subject to Halal values. Read More:
