Superbank Introduces a New Auto-Savings Feature
References: techinasia
Superbank, the Indonesian digital bank supported by Grab and Singtel, has introduced Celengan, a new auto-savings feature accessible through its app. This product, named after the Bahasa Indonesian term for 'piggy bank,' enables users to save automatically with minimal daily contributions starting from US$0.07. Once the savings reach US$333, the virtual piggy bank "breaks" and Superbank offers a competitive interest rate of 10% per annum.
Since rebranding from Bank Fama in February 2023, Superbank has expanded its offerings beyond the basics, including working capital loans for female entrepreneurs and a US$40 million startup fund. Celengan marks the bank's first consumer-focused offering, aligning with its mission to simplify financial management for its users.
Superbank's introduction of Celengan mirrors similar efforts by Grab-backed digital banks in neighboring countries. GXS Bank in Singapore and GXBank in Malaysia have launched their own savings products, highlighting Grab's commitment to expanding its financial services ecosystem across Southeast Asia.
