Fintech major PhonePe has partnered with financial fitness platform Jar to roll out a new ‘Daily Savings’ feature on its platform for purchase of digital gold.

Further, the product will ensure easy fund transfers and payments. 

“Automated daily contribution makes it easy to save consistently without manual intervention. Users have the option to pause or cancel their Daily Savings anytime or redeem the gold for cash whenever they want,” the statement added.

Niharika Saigal, head of InApp Categories, Consumer Payments, said, “We have seen a significant surge in adoption of Digital Gold on our platform in recent years. We are thrilled to introduce Daily Savings, a product designed to facilitate bite sized everyday savings through 24K Digital Gold. By starting small and saving consistently, individuals can progressively work towards achieving their financial goals.”

Nishchay AG, founder and CEO, Jar said, “By offering our Gold Tech platform to PhonePe, we are enabling brands to seamlessly integrate gold savings into their services.”

PhonePe claims to offer 99.99% purity-certified 24K Digital Gold sourced from trusted partners. With over 1.2 Cr customers across more than 19,000 postal codes in India, users can purchase gold at transparent prices, it said.

PhonePe is one of the leading payments players in the UPI segment. In July this year, it held a 48.3% market share in the UPI ecosystem, registering 6.98 Bn transactions worth INR 10.28 Lakh Cr.
