Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to keep a Weyay Bank account?+
The monthly fee is KWD 0, so the easy-access account runs at no recurring cost. The account kind is easy access, which suits everyday spending rather than tying money up. Money leaves the account through international transfers instead, at KWD 1 to KWD 11 depending on the region you send to.
What happens to my money when I change currency?+
Each conversion carries a currency conversion fee of 2.75% and an exchange rate markup of 2.75%. Both are higher than the everyday account median of 0.22%, so frequent currency swaps are the main cost to watch. The multicurrency card covers 15 currencies.
Do the saving pots really need money in them first?+
No minimum balance is required, so a pot can be opened on demand in the app. You can also lock a pot until your goal is reached, which stops you dipping into it early. Pots are part of the app experience, so the account is digital only.
Is a Weyay Bank account digital only?+
Yes, the account is digital only, meaning everything runs through the app. That covers opening pots, checking balances and moving money. Help is available on email, chat and phone if you get stuck, but there is no branch to walk into.
Who is this account built for?+
The listed audience is student and teen, so students and teens are the intended users. The pot rate of 0.5% to 1% is variable, which works well for small regular top-ups rather than a large lump sum. Support runs on email, chat and phone for questions about the app.
How fast is money moving to another Weyay customer?+
Transfers between Weyay customers are Instant for transfers between Weyay customers. Payouts can go to a bank account, a wallet or a card, as bank, wallet and card lists. For money going outside the customer base, the fee is KWD 1 to KWD 11 and the rate margin is 2.75%.
Who runs Weyay Bank?+
The provider is National Bank of Kuwait S.A.K.P., based in Kuwait. The easy-access account carries a monthly fee of KWD 0 and holds 15 currencies. The pot rate sits at 0.5% to 1% and is variable.
