BigPay has launched a new feature, 'Save To Travel Stash', that helps you save money for your next holiday automatically
When the feature is activated, BigPay users will automatically have their spare change from each transaction rounded up and saved.
BigPay users can also opt to save directly into their 'Save to Travel Stash' account through automatic schedule transfers.
The idea behind the feature is to help users save up for their vacations while serving as a viable payment provider.
BigPay chief executive officer Zubin Rada Krishnan said this new feature is the brand's first Save-Now-Spend-Later product in collaboration with AirAsia MOVE
"We are excited to introduce our first Save-Now-Spend-Later product in collaboration with the MOVE Digital ecosystem. The ‘Save to Travel Stash’ is a reflection of our ethos of empowering our customers to spend responsibly and sustainably," Zubin said.
"With this new product, a BigPay customer can save money for their dream holiday in an effortless way by saving a little with every transaction until they hit their goal. This new Stash is one way we are helping our customers turn everyday transactions into extraordinary experiences," he added.
Activating the feature is easy, requiring only two simple steps.
STEP 1: Open the BigPay app and swipe right from your balance. Tap on 'Create a stash' and follow the app's setup instructions
STEP 2: Transfer some money from your main wallet to activate the 'Save to Travel Stash' feature
The 'Save to Travel Stash' feature also includes additional settings to help you reach your savings target faster
For instance, users can toggle the 'Round Ups' option that will round up and stash away spare change from every transaction.
You can also 'Add a Booster', which allows you to add RM1, RM2, RM3, or RM5 to your savings goal each time you make a transaction.
There's also the option to schedule a recurring weekly or monthly transfer into the Stash. There are, of course, terms and conditions.
BigPay is also providing a limited-time incentive for users who sign up for the 'Save to Travel Stash' feature
BigPay cardholders with an average balance of RM1,000 in their 'Save to Travel Stash' for over 30 days stand to enjoy a 1% cash rebate for international spending within Asia.
Additionally, BigPay users who activate the 'Save to Travel Stash' feature or spend with the app on AirAsia MOVE stand to be part of a lucky draw contest. Selected winners will gain a free trip to any location in Asia that's worth RM2,000 every month (terms and conditions apply).
Both campaigns will end on 30 September 2024. Learn more here.
