Tonik Digital Bank Features

Savings Account – This is the primary savings account given to all customers who 

register and pass through our Know-Your-Customer (KYC) process. Funds will 

automatically earn an interest rate of 1% per annum and paid out on a monthly basis. This makes savings a lot more easier and convenient for every Filipino. 

Time Deposit at 6% interest – Tonik customers  can set the starting amount to their time deposits for as low as P 5,000. They can open up to 5 time deposit accounts within their savings account. Tonik does not charge early withdrawal fees or penalties.

Love the calculator in the app!

Stashes – This is inspired by Filipino saving scheme – the “paluwagan” system. Using Tonik’s Group 

Stash, at least three people, including the stash owner, can put in money in  their shared stash and earn as much as 4.5% interest per annum as they save for a particular goal together. 

You can also go solo which allows consumers to save-up towards specific goals. Tonik offers 

focused saving through the Solo Stash product, a feature that allows money  allocated to a particular savings goal to be separated into a different  compartment. The Solo Stash can earn as much as 4% in interest per annum and funds can be withdrawn any time they are needed without a locked period.

Excited to save and create my stashes
