Actually, yes piggybank has helped me save funds I don’t need especially through the direct debit feature.
What do you find unique or different about the platform?
It’s easy to navigate, although I still think the interface is too busy with many words, pictographs and charts might help. Swift turnaround time and good customer service are features I like about you, lil miss piggy.
