What is Jar? The Jar app is a habit-building micro-savings platform that helps users save fixed amounts from as little as ₹10 in 24K digital gold. Our users also have the option to convert these savings to cash or physical gold at their convenience. Jar also effortlessly facilitates investments by enabling users to save while they spend, utilising our round-off method, like a digital piggy bank.

Founded by Misbah Ashraf, former founder of community-focused e-commerce platform  Marsplay, and Nishchay AG, former director and founding member at mobility start-up Bounce, Jar's unwavering mission is to shatter psychological barriers to saving and investing, thus spearheading the Financial Fitness revolution for Bharat.
